Anybody can provide a tarball of an old glibc tarball if they use pregenerated 
locales, yes.

We would need to or delete the pregenerated tarball. I'll do the latter for 
simplicity when I'm near a real computer. It's easy to recreate it against a 
let's say glibc-2.19 or .20

Ideally we would base off the Unicode tables to avoid the whole brittle mess. 
But then that's a lot of work for something (locales) I personally see no real 
benefit in and don't really use although I see that folks seem to use it (for 
reasons beyond my imagination).

Any help to beat locales into reasonable shape is very, very welcome, of 
course. I don't see how I would find time to handle this on myself anytime soon.

So, if you use locales, please share your solutions or attempts.

Thanks and cheers,
