Since we rely on the OS to supply locale settings, getting a reliable

This is quite untrue; we have variant regression files that exist
specifically to support running the tests under various popular locales.
As Hiroshi-san points out, --no-locale isn't even the default in the
Unix makefile.
Perhaps the Windows locales are different enough that what we have
doesn't cover them?
I stand corrected.
I know I had enough trouble even before we started doing Windows builds
that we had to use --no-locale in the buildfarm (or at least that was
the solution I adopted).
For example, I know of cases where FBSD and Linux don't agree even on
collation order for quite common locales.
But by all means let's see what happens on Windows when we take the flag
out. Hiroshi-san, perhaps you would like to test it and see?
cheers
