I reverted the patch so that warnings were on before looking, and the only locales that showed errors were validly problematic. The C locale was tested but did not warn. Hmm. Below is an example of what I got before you disabled the warnings. This on Windows 7 with CCTYPE=MSVC110 (Visual Studio 2012). As far as I know it's a bog standard U.S. installation of Windows 7 Pro and it does, for some reason, think "Locale 'C' may not work well."
