You probably don't have the French or Chinese locales installed,
which leads to this particular failure.  I'll update the test program
to not fail when setlocale doesn't return the proper locale...

SSL support requires OpenSSL, GNU TLS, or CDSA, which may or may not
be installed on your Solaris x86 system.  The configure script should
automatically detect this.

Kerberos support is a bit more problematic, since Sun shipped bad
headers in several Solaris releases.
