I think it works if you set LC_ALL='C', as the
C locale is unibyte on a GNU system, but someone
should double-check this.
A bit of searching does not reveal to me how to verify or disprove this, but how about using a known unibyte-locale such as an ISO8859 one? Or is the problem then that there's none that can be guaranteed to exist?
