Isn't LC_MESSAGES also necessary for gettext()?
If it's only strerror() we care about, then we could use uselocale()
instead, because the platforms that don't support uselocale() also
don't seem to do translation in strerror(). (I think only glibc
translates through strerror(), though I've seen hints that Solaris may
also.)
