Yes, I need more details here.

  1) Please make sure you build in a fresh directory ('rm -rf testdir'
     before you generate a new testdir), and have no global config cache.
  2) Run configure with option '-C'.
  3) Please provide all three of the following:
     - grep locale configure.out
     - grep -i locale config.cache
     - grep -i locale config.status
