Get a system which has a correctly implemented strcoll function along
with a localedef program for this system.  After generating the locale
binary file using localedef (from the sources available from the POSIX
WGs) you should get the correct ordering/collation.

One possible solution is Linux using the upcoming libc-5.4.0.
