Re: portability issues with unicodeio

Hi Akim, Kiyoshi-san,

I am adding a unit test for the 'unicodeio' module (see below). It contains
a test for the C locale, and this test works fine on Solaris 11.3.

Therefore I have to ask Kiyoshi two questions:

1) What is the output of the program 'locale'?
   $ locale

2) What are the link dependencies of the coreutils printf program?
   $ ldd $coreutilsbin/printf
