For the record:

I had at look at the failure of the recode-sr-latin-2 test. Here is my
conclusion:

1. recode-sr-latin-2 tries to find out if there is a EUC-JP locale on
   my system by calling testlocale (in gettext-tools/tests).

2. I have no EUC-JP locale installed on my system.

3. testlocale does only test locales on systems where the following
   holds:

   defined _LIBC || (defined __GNU_LIBRARY__ && __GNU_LIBRARY__ >= 2)

4. As this doesn't hold here (Solaris 9) testlocale claims that my
   system does have a EUC-JP locale.

5. When I add "-DHAVE_LOCALE_NULL" to CPPFLAGS, the test gets
   (successfully) skipped.

Bye,
