I looked at the OpenBSD port patches and stripped out the xlocale
interfaces, just a bit different (using HAVE_XLOCALE i.s.o __FreeBSD__)
so it'll work on HEAD. Hopefully, I can get an autoconf patch for this
xlocale(3) test back to upstream, else I'll set it based on $OSVERSION
in the port's Makefile, cause so far I can get away with not using
USE_AUTOTOOLS.

For future reference, USE_GCC=4.6 didn't help.
