Hi Pascal,
there is something wrong in setting the locale for your test.
On cygwin "fr_FR" is a valid locale but the test is failing anyway

$ locale -a |grep fr_FR
fr_FR
fr_FR.utf8
address@hidden

$ grep -i locale config.h
/* Define to 1 if you have the <locale.h> header file. */
#define HAVE_LOCALE_H 1
/* Define to 1 if you have the `setlocale' function. */
#define HAVE_SETLOCALE 1

octave:1> assert(sscanf('1,2', '%f', 'fr_FR'), 1.2)
error: assert (sscanf ('1,2', '%f', 'fr_FR'),1.2) expected
 1.2000
but got
 1
values do not match
