Ah, right!  Take a look into newlib/libc/locale/locale.c, function
__loadlocale().  This function is called from _setlocale_r().  However,
it calls __set_charset_from_locale() *only* if the charset isn't already
given explicitely in the LC_* or LANG string, because otherwise we
already know the charset, after all.

Darn!  That foils my plans for world domination...

Thanks, I'll do the same.  I'd really like to simplify this stuff
and doing the locale shuffle in two entirely different locations
at different times is prone to getting out of sync.
