[kronolith] kronolith: two post-install snags

Try this snippet of C code:

#include <langinfo.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

main()
{
   char *locale, *fmt_C, *fmt_US;
   char result[200];
   time_t now;
   struct tm *t;

   now = time(NULL);
   t = localtime(&now);

   locale = setlocale(LC_TIME, "C");
   fmt_C = nl_langinfo(T_FMT);
   strftime(result, 200, fmt_C, t);
   printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", locale, fmt_C, result);

   locale = setlocale(LC_TIME, "en_US.UTF-8");
   fmt_US = nl_langinfo(T_FMT);
   strftime(result, 200, fmt_US, t);
   printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", locale, fmt_US, result);

   return 0;
}

Compiling (gcc file.c) and running (./a.out) should print something like:

C
%H:%M:%S
11:36:30
en_US.UTF-8
%r
11:36:30 AM
