This is like...ugh!...totally unexpected. C locales seem to work and so do 
STLport's so I thought it was just some sort misconfiguration. (I had rebuilt 
the world more than once in past.)

I have found some posts in -stable about it. It seems like it would be quite 
a lot of work to implement it, both, either implementing the required POSIX 
functionality or implementing it atop the existing. Sounds like nice GSoC 
task for somebody with more zeal than I have.
