setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") only sets the current LC_CTYPE to the value of
the user environment.
If e.g. the user has LC_ALL=C the program will fail even if there is a
utf-8 locale it could use installed on the computer.
The attached patch first tries to set the locale found in the autoconf
script.
If that fails, it popens 'locale -a' and searches for a working utf-8
locale to use.
