1) export LC_ALL=en_US
2) Compile the following program:

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <locale.h>
        int
        main (void)
        {       char *cptr = setlocale (LC_ALL, "") ;
                
                if (cptr != NULL)
                        puts (cptr) ;
                else
                        printf ("%p\n", cptr) ;
                
                return 0;
        }

3) When run, the setlocale() returns a NULL pointer indicating
   failure.

4) Strace reveals that libc is looking for

        /usr/lib/locale/en_US/LC_IDENTIFICATION
                
   which doesn't seem to exist.
