/usr/include/langinfo.h on OpenBSD:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/include/langinfo.h?rev=1.5;content-type=text%2Fplain

does not contain any ERA.* entries, as found in:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/langinfo.h.html

Have emailed espie@openbsd.org about this.

(If I can build this successfully,  will attempt to become the OpenBSD maintainer
for guile port/package - as it is currently orphaned.)

Thanks for the report!

We’ll use Gnulib’s ‘langinfo’ module, which addresses this specific
portability issue.

Thanks,
