Due to encoding name normalization of locale module,
UTF-8 locales are normalized to xx_XX.UTF8. But most
of BSD systems and some other *nixes doesn't allow
normalized forms of locale names such as xx_XX.UTF8. 
So we need to restore the name on _build_localename to
'UTF-8' to make it work on such systems.
