If I understand correctly it's the loading of CoreServices that causes 
the _locale problem, right? If that's indeed the case then I think not 
linking with CoreServices would make this problem even worse: imagine a 
scenario where an unsuspecting user has working code in a toy app, but 
it fails when used in his GUI app (which happens to use CoreServices). 
Or code that works standalone but not in <insert favorite IDE here>.
