[oe-users] Problem generating binary locales

[Brian Clarke]

Looks like my problem may not be bug 1144 after all (failure on x86_64 
host) as I've now rebuilt on a Fedora 6 i386 machine and allowed OE to 
build the qemu and still get:

NOTE: package glibc-2.5-r4: task do_package: started
NOTE: preparing tree for binary locale generation
NOTE: generating locale es_NI (UTF-8)
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - exiting
NOTE: Task failed: localedef returned an error (command was

--inputfile=/usr/share/i18n/locales/es_NI --charmap=UTF-8 es_NI).
NOTE: package glibc-2.5-r4: task do_package: failed


Which Linux distros are known to be good as a host for building locales 
with OE?
