Uh, we already do. Note all the regression tests that unconditionally
assume that the POSIX collation works. Also, I am confused by your
apparent belief that there might somewhere be a version of libc that
fails to provide C-locale-compliant behavior. Surely nobody would
tolerate a version of strcmp() that fails to act per C spec.
