If thats the case, what modifications do we need to make it work with C or POSIX 
locales? They're obviously valid locales and I don't see why it shouldn't work.

If it means not running some of the test cases (due to testing characters that 
aren't in those locales) then I think thats a good solution. Just have a 
pre-test check at the beginning that sets a "is_posix_or_c" variable and doesn't 
run certain tests in those cases.
