I don't follow.  Of course locale support is in libc; where else would
it be?  But without --enable-locale, we will never call setlocale().
Surely even RedHat is not so broken that they default to non-C locale
in a program that has not called setlocale()?  That directly contravenes
the letter of the ISO C standard, IIRC.
