Yes, I'm afraid I don't see any other way to read the intent of POSIX. The definition of "affirmative response" confirms this reading; see <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_07>. Also, as a practical matter, it's a pain if this info resides in two locations, as the user or installer or sysadmin has to worry about both places. > Cygwin's nl_langinfo is broken Is there some way that "configure" can detect this problem reliably? If not, then perhaps the simplest thing is to just live with the problem on Cygwin hosts; after all, if nl_langinfo is broken then Cygwin users must already be accustomed to applications that require one to type 'y' or 'Y' for "yes" regardless of locale.
