Right.  I understand that.  I just don't know if it is otherwise safe.  My
experience with locale & i18n is somewhere between zero and none.

All that box has is:

#define LC_ALL          0
#define LC_COLLATE      1
#define LC_CTYPE        2
#define LC_MONETARY     3
#define LC_NUMERIC      4
#define LC_TIME         5

#define _LC_LAST        6               /* marks end */

There shouldn't be any other setlocales in the effected code -- each of the
major programs (gcc, cccp, collect2, cc1*, etc) call setlocale once as they
start up and that's it.
