System Locales

[Joe Ciccone]

Currently the temp-system is built without locales. This is causing a lot of the tests up to when they're installed in the final-system to fail. You can't run make localedata/install-locales when cross-compiling glibc because it tries to run the localdef in glibc-build/localdef/programs/localdef with:

I18NPATH=. GCONV_PATH=$(common-objpfx)iconvdata LC_ALL=C \
$(common-objpfx)elf/ld.so --library-path $(rpath-link) $(common-objpfx)locale/localedef

Where $(common-objpfx) is the path to the glibc-build dir with a trailing /.

I can think of 2 solutions to this.

1. We can use the host's localedef.
   

-or-

2. We can modify glibc's build system to build us a localedef-host and then use localedef-host to install the locales. This will also take care of the case where localdef isn't installed on the host.

I'm currently working on implementing 2.

The locales were found to not be the source of the test-suite problems. The solution was to symlink /tools/lib{,32,64}/libstd* to /usr/lib{,32,64} commited in r1917.

Changing the status of this ticket because this ticket still affects clfs-2.0. Glibc is only cross-compiled.

locales, zoneinfo, and librpcsvc.a all fixed in r3089.
