Hello,
I am encountering issues while executing the [CPython](
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/124108) test_locale test suite on NetBSD 10.0, particularly with the tests related to the strcoll and strxfrm functions.
localhost$ ./python -m test test_locale -m test_strcoll_with_diacritic -m test_strxfrm_with_diacritic -v

Environment Variables:
I have configured the following locale-related environment variables in my .profile file:
export LANG="C.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"
export LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
export LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
export LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
export LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"
Despite these settings, the tests continue to fail.
I have been unable to find specific documentation in the NetBSD resources regarding the configuration of locale-related environment variables, particularly LC_COLLATE. Could you provide any suggestions or guidance on how to properly configure locale settings for accurate testing on NetBSD?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
