i'll enable multibyte LC_CTYPE locale stuff in libc shortly.
there's a long discussion on PR 12017 and tech-userlevel in the past.
to summarize:
- libc.a (for static linked binary) can enjoy singlebyte locale only.
- libc.so (for shared binary) can enjoy multibyte locale library
support. multibyte locale support needs /usr/lib/runemodule.*.so to
get dlopen'ed at runtime.
