are used and tested in the libstdc++ testsuites: en_HK, en_US,
fr_FR, fr_FR@euro, de_DE, de_DE@euro, ja_JP.eucjp, es_MX, en_PH,
and it_IT. Failure to have the underlying "C" library locale
are used and tested in the libstdc++ testsuites. The first column
is the name of the locale, the second is the character set it is
