180 to install only those locales that are wanted and needed. This can be
181 achieved by using the <command>localedef</command> command. Information on
182 this command is located in the <filename>INSTALL</filename> file in the
183 GLIBC source. However, there are a number of locales that are essential in
184 order for the tests of future packages to pass, in particular, the
185 <emphasis>libstdc++</emphasis> tests from GCC. The following instructions,
186 instead of the <parameter>install-locales</parameter> target used above,
187 will install the minimum set of locales necessary for the tests to run
188 successfully:</para>

204 <para>Some locales installed by the <command>make
205 localedata/install-locales</command> command above are not properly
206 supported by some applications that are in CLFS and CBLFS. Because
207 of the various problems that arise due to application programmers making
208 assumptions that break in such locales, CLFS should not be used in locales
209 that utilize multibyte character sets (including UTF-8) or right-to-left
210 writing order. Numerous unofficial and unstable patches are required to
211 fix these problems, and it has been decided by the CLFS developers not to
212 support such complex locales at this time. This applies to the ja_JP and
213 fa_IR locales as well&mdash;they have been installed only for GCC and
214 Gettext tests to pass, and the <command>watch</command> program (part of
215 the Procps-ng package) does not work properly in them. Various attempts to
216 circumvent these restrictions are documented in internationalization-related
217 hints.</para>
