The cause for that is that on Windows locale_t is called _locale_t, and
there is a workaround for that in src/include/port/win32.h for the MSVC
build, but with MinGW, the configure test result still says that
locale_t does not exist, so the code is omitted.
This could be fixed either by making the configure test a bit smarter,
or just by sticking a
#define HAVE_LOCALE_T 1
into the aforementioned win32.h.
