The global ctors functions are called before the environment is initialized. In that state the locale is always "C". Note that the locale is only changed temporarily when the environment is read from a non-Cygwin parent. This doesn't affect forked Cygwin processes, nor Cygwin processes exec'ed from a Cygwin parent.
