initdb "Fails to initialize lc_time" (using 7.3.1)

I'm getting this error "Failed to initialize lc_time" back from initdb
when trying to init a data directory. I'm using the latest top-of-tree
CVS sources.

I get the same error, regardless of the locale parameter I pass to
initdb. (same error w/  "--no-locale" or "--locale en", etc.)

I'm building top-of-tree sources, on OSX (tried on both 10.1.5 and
10.2).

I didn't see any "no-locale" configure option.... Any  other
suggestions?

Thanks,

Drew

The output from init message follows:

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"drew".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

     ./bin/postmaster -D data/postgres
or
     ./bin/pg_ctl -D data/postgres -l logfile start
