Actually, I seem to have found the reason: on panther.FreeBSD.org, there are no LC_CTYPE files for any locale, and setlocale(LC_ALL) attempts to load, well, *all* locale type definitions, including LC_CTYPE. Thus, it would (and does) return NULL with errno set to ENOENT for all locales... The LC_CTYPE files are not there, because there is an explicit test for the build architecture in src/share/Makefile, which excludes the mklocale directory for sparc64; it was introduced in rev. 1.27 by David O'Brien about 7 months ago. David, what exactly was the 'bad juju' mentioned in the commit message, and is it still there? A test run of 'cvs up share/mklocale && cd share/mklocale && make' on panther seemed to complete OK; I have not yet tested the resulting locale files though.
