Updated in OE. claws-mail-3.6.1 should now build and work.

The crash disappeared with
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1773

I have also updated translation to the new menu system:

The real bug is located deeply inside glibc:

g_utf8_collate("text", "file") returns 0 ("strings are equal").

It happens only inside claws-mail context (e. g. toolbar_parse_item())
and cannot be reproduced in a simple test case.

Picking old LC_COLLATE file in my locale in /usr/lib/locale makes it
working again => probably localedef tool is broken.
