Consensus does appear to be unanimous on what to do; I just need to review all the postings and figure out exactly /how/ to do it.
NOTE: there were four other failures that arose because of the changes to localename. These were: format-c-3 format-c-4 plural-1 plural-2 but the test suite was patched to avoid these failures. The problem is rather complicated; gettext-0.18.1.1 now has a libintl_setlocale function that is used by libintl clients, instead of the system setlocale. The localename patch left that in place, but ensured that it did far less work -- was less obtrusive -- in its interposition between clients and the system setlocale. However, some of that eliminated 'work' also allowed the gettext test suite to 'cheat' a bit -- it used non-existent locales (like 'fr' rather than 'fr_FR'), and *re-hijacked* the setlocale function itself. None of that works anymore -- and *actual* clients are unlikely to need/want to do it -- so the test suite was patched to use real locales in all cases, and to not re-hijack.
