According to http://www.stratus.com/products/openvos/index.htm the
OpenVOS system is POSIX compliant, so it must already have multibyte
character support, I think.   However, I guess it may not support all
the locales you would like.

But there must already be a system C library, surely, if the system is
POSIX compliant.

I can't help notice that this failure message seems to have nothing
whatsoever to the problem you wrote about above.   Perhaps I am
confused.
