It's actually a bit deeper than that. In the absence of glibc, the libstdc++ library is built using the 'generic' c_locale -- which does not support named locales other than "C". > Apparently there are people working on this...

I've been tossing some hours into this one again myself recently, given that libintl and libiconv now build, more or less, out of the box with mingw. I currently have libstdc++ building using the 'gnu' clocale, having stubbed out the 'xlocale' api (along with a couple of other things like nl_langinfo_l) as the last major missing piece. I still need to do some more tests, and complete the implementation of those functions (or rather port it to C from some C++ code of my own), but it is looking fairly promising. If it all pans out, I plan to add a mingw32-i18n package containing those things, both as a dependency for the toolchain and for people to use standalone if they so desire.
