According to libstdc++ source, the internal function 
locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale() calls some __newlocale() which 
apparently does not arrive at newlocale() from cygwin1.dll. But 
cygstdc++-6.dll imports newlocale() from cygwin1.dll.

Only standard locale "C" and its alias "POSIX" work with C++ std::locale().

The cygwin1.dll function newlocale() works as expected - except that it 
does not set errno if the locale name is invalid.
