The results *are* used, in backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.sh.in (and
apparently nowhere else). But the data being processed there is just
builtin function names, so I'm at a loss why someone thought that it'd
be worth testing for a locale-specific variant of 'tr'. I agree, I'm
pretty strongly tempted to yank it.
But we haven't yet figured out Travis' problem: why is the configure
test failing? Useless or not, I don't see why it's falling over...
