I just did that test on cfarm220.  The french locale is installed:

$ locale -a |grep fr                
fr_BE.UTF-8
fr_CA.UTF-8
fr_CH.UTF-8
fr_FR.UTF-8

But in gettext-tools/tests, I get
$ ./lang-perl-2
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'Project-Id-Version' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'PO-Revision-Date' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'Last-Translator' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'Language-Team' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'MIME-Version' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'Content-Transfer-Encoding' missing in header
fr.po:2: warning: header field 'Language' missing in header
Skipping test: no french locale is supported

I investigated a bit, and it seems to me that the reason why it is
skipped is that, near the end of the lang-perl-2 script, the following
does not lead to $LOCALE_FR_UTF8 to be set:
: ${LOCALE_FR_UTF8=fr_FR.UTF-8}

If I add
LOCALE_FR_UTF8=fr_FR.UTF-8
the test passes
