[issue30647] CODESET error on AMD64 FreeBSD 10.x Shared 3.x caused by the PEP 538

[bapt]

bapt added the comment:

Per POSIX, the C locale is only expected to be ASCII. C.UTF-8 is a linux only thing (actually I thought it was a debian only thing, but maybe not).

I was thinking about creating a C.utf8 locale on FreeBSD but it is not that simple to do (still doable and an interesting idea).

Note that if it fails here, it is probably due also failing on other OS. At minimum: Dragonfly and Illumos for sure, maybe NetBSD and OpenBSD as well.

haypo, do not hesitate to ping me on irc as usual if you want to discuss the issue.
