as almost expected, a build on Solaris 11.4 failed miserably due to the
use of the various BSD extensions (localeconv_l, mbstowcs_l, strtod_l,
strtof_l, strtold_l, wcsftime_l), whose use or fallback implementations
are currently guarded by _AIX.  Should those be used in a directory
supposed to conform to POSIX.1-2008 at all?  OTOH, almost duplicating
the code into a separate bsd (or whatever, it's certainly not only
DragonflyBSD) directory for this sole reason would be a shame.
