Test fails.

Use smitty to change primary "cultural", "language" and "keyboard"

  Primary CULTURAL convention  UTF-8   English (United States)
[EN_US]                         +
  Primary LANGUAGE translation UTF-8   English (UTF-8)
[en.UTF-8]                              +
  Primary KEYBOARD             UTF-8   English(POSIX) KBD ID 103P
[EN_US]                      +

initially fails, as these are also required:
Error:  The selected settings for cultural convention, language,
        and keyboard require the installation of additional filesets
        that are not currently installed.  Select an installation device
        that contains the following filesets:

 bos.msg.EN_US.net.tcp.client
 bos.msg.EN_US.rte

After that is added, and set:
root@x064:[/data/prj/openbsd/mindrot/openssh-7.8.0.20]grep LANG
/etc/environment
LANG=EN_US
root@x064:[/data/prj/openbsd/mindrot/openssh-7.8.0.20]grep LC
/etc/environment
LC__FASTMSG=true
LC_MESSAGES=C@lft

root@x064:[/usr/lib/nls/loc]ls -l EN_US
lrwxrwxrwx    1 bin      bin              28 Aug 03 12:28 EN_US ->
/usr/lib/nls/loc/EN_US.UTF-8

unset LC_CTYPE
export LANG=EN_US

Still same error sequence as above.

regress/unittests/utf8/tests.c:48 test #25 "c_esc"
ASSERT_INT_EQ(len, wantlen) failed:
         len = -1
     wantlen = 5
make: 1254-059 The signal code from the last command is 6.

(back to question #2: en_US is what I would expect to be enough to
satisfy "posix". traditionally EN_US has been to mean iso8559-15 while
en_US has been iso8559-1. Not clear on what the key differences are. So,
what is needed for OpenBSD definition of "POSIX"?
