It looks like the C++ standard library goes through all the right
motions, but then fails to construct an actual locale object as it's
supposed to do and thus errors out.  Cygwin is not glibc based, so this
seems to be essentially the same bug as described here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58245286/why-does-stdlocale-name-give-different-results-on-clang-and-gcc

and elsewhere.  This bug is at least 17 years old by now, so if anybody
comes up with a patch that would be helpful.  It's entirely possible
that the configury failed to detect (if it even tried) that Cygwin has
(or should have) thread-safe locale API by now, but it might have a
different API than glibc.


Regards,
Achim.
