25 dnl Test whether uselocale() exists and works at all.
28 dnl On OpenBSD >= 6.2, the locale_t type and the uselocale(), newlocale(),
29 dnl duplocale(), freelocale() functions exist but are effectively useless,
30 dnl because the locale_t value depends only on the LC_CTYPE category of the
31 dnl locale and furthermore contains only one bit of information (it
32 dnl distinguishes the "C" locale from the *.UTF-8 locales). See
33 dnl <https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/lib/libc/locale/newlocale.c?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>.
34 dnl In the setlocale() implementation they have thought about the programs
35 dnl that use the API ("Even though only LC_CTYPE has any effect in the
36 dnl OpenBSD base system, store complete information about the global locale,
37 dnl such that third-party software can access it"), but for uselocale()
38 dnl they did not think about the programs.
39 dnl In this situation, even the HAVE_NAMELESS_LOCALES support does not work.
40 dnl So, define HAVE_FAKE_LOCALES and disable all locale_t support.
