OS X --enable-nls buildfarm members should run tests under LANG=C instead of with locale environment variables unset (make check NO_LOCALE=1). I see two ways to arrange that: (1) add a build-farm.conf option, or (2) have pg_regress.c:initialize_environment() treat OS X like Windows. I mildly favor (2); see attached, untested patch. Windows and OS X --enable-nls share the characteristic that setlocale(LC_x, "") consults sources other than environment variables. (I do wonder why commit 4a6fd46 used LANG=en instead of LANG=C.) On the other hand, LANG=en has been inessential on Windows ever since "pg_regress --no-locale" started to use "initdb --no-locale". While I prefer to see the LANG= hack go away rather than proliferate, I can't cite a practical reason to care. Thanks, nm
