Description
Per request in the gnome developer list I file this bug here:
Gnome will require newlocale(), *_l() VERY apis soon
Gnome will soon require that all platforms support the following POSIX APIs, which are all not provided by Illumos libc. Developers will no longer be able to build Gnome after November 2012 without these:
newlocale()
duplocale()
freelocale()
strcasecmp_l()
strncasecmp_l()
uselocale()
wcscasecmp_l()
wcsncasecmp_l()
wcscoll_l()
wcsxfrm_l()
isw*_l(), like iswalpha_l()

Rationale is that multiple locales can exist simultaneously in a process, e.g. different threads run in different locales or a single thread operate on documents in different locales and so on. It also allows that locales can be handled and changed in a semi-threadsafe manner, i.e. setlocale() is global, affects the whole process and changing it is not threadsafe.
