[oe] Potential Problems in glibc-package.bbclass

[Jan Janssens]

For me the locale building process is working, even though it indeed
looks (from your analysis) like there are issues. I've looked at an
i18n problem in the past (with utf8 locales), but there was not a lot
of response from the list. Looks like there are no real glibc/locale
experts around...

Anyway: I think you should open a bug and attach a patch. In the end
someone will most likely have a look at it.

And hopefully, now that OpenMoko is getting into gear, there will be
more development interest in OpenEmbedded.

Regards,

Jan.
