Hmmm?
Of course it's the same topic.
If the configure of a port is affected by the locale, that's a big
problem.  How is this not the same topic?

But I did look at gettext, which is configuring package based on what's
on the system (not environment).  For the unicode checks, there is
obviously no issue.

For the traditional checks, It's ironic, DragonFly uses short locales
like "fr_FR" which link to the approprioprate ISO8859 or UTF-8 locale.
Bapt removed them to avoid a bike shed and if he had not done that, this
gettext configure would not be an issue as "fr_FR" is the very first check.
