Hmm... I didn't see any 2-phase issues in the error message.  Perhaps 
_MSL_NO_LOCALE is somehow getting mistakenly turned on.  We supply a 
prefix header:  UseDLLPrefix.h.  Including this header turns on 
(defines) _MSL_NO_LOCALE.  Perhaps that header is getting mistakenly 
included?  I just double checked the 8.3 <mslconfig> and it is not 
defined there (whew! :-) ).

A preprocess of format_test2.cpp would confirm whether or not getloc() 
is listed as a member of basic_streambuf.  If it is there, something 
else is going on, and I'm not sure what yet.  If it isn't there, then 
somehow _MSL_NO_LOCALE is getting defined.
