24 | <para>The <envar>LC_ALL</envar> variable controls the localization of |
---|
25 | certain programs, making their messages follow the conventions of a |
---|
26 | specified country. If the host system uses a version of Glibc older |
---|
27 | than 2.2.4, having <envar>LC_ALL</envar> set to something other than |
---|
28 | <quote>POSIX</quote> or <quote>C</quote> (during this chapter) may cause |
---|
29 | issues if you exit the chroot environment and wish to return later. |
---|
30 | Setting <envar>LC_ALL</envar> to <quote>POSIX</quote> or <quote>C</quote> |
---|
31 | (the two are equivalent) ensures that everything will work as expected |
---|
32 | in the chroot environment.</para> |

34 | <para>By putting <filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> ahead |
---|
35 | of the standard <envar>PATH</envar>, all the programs installed in |
---|
36 | <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> are picked up by the shell |
---|
37 | immediately after their installation. This, combined with turning off |
---|
38 | hashing, limits the risk that old programs from the host are being used |
---|
39 | when they should not be used any longer.</para> |
