Thanks, these are great leads!

But unfortunately this didn't work either. The reason is subtle (and
elusive!): On CentOS (where gcc is built) the GCC features.h header is
defining __USE_XOPEN2K, and not __USE_XOPEN2K8  conditioned on
_XOPEN_SOURCE (or _POSIX_C_SOURCE) being defined.   But on the
front-end SUSE, the /usr/include/locale.h is expecting __USE_XOPEN2K8,
hence fails.
