and, of course, this doesn't prove anything.  If I wanted to compile
eg. GNU sed on an ancient host, I wouldn't be surprised if I had to
give --disable-nls to get things work.

Would gnulib drop memmove.c if it were supported on all relatively
recent hosts?

I don't want to be an obstacle to your nice work.  And I can easily
trust your judgment that the HAVE_LOCALE_H should go.

My point is just that coreutils and gettext are the wrong test animals
here.  If make, sed or gawk would assume locale.h, _that_ would be a
really strong reason.

Have a nice day,
