You mean check whether the C locale reports "" as the thousand
separator string for it_IT etc?  This would be none of the libstdc++
test suite's business.  Besides, nobody prevents someone from changing
the locale.  The definitions you can normally find in the libc are
those which are commonly accepted.  This does not mean there are local
variations.  The whole locale concept is based on the idea of making
adoption easy.
