Is the following still relevant or is it ready to be pulled?

<para>Some packages beyond LFS may also lack support for your chosen
locale. One example is the X library (part of the X Window System),
which outputs the following error message:</para>
<screen><computeroutput>Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale
set to C</computeroutput></screen>
Let's stay on the safe side and pretend that this is still relevant.
1) I cannot speak for XFree86
2) For Xorg 7, there is still a way to trigger this message by deviating from
the book (testcase: ru_RU.utf8 when the book clearly recommends ru_RU.UTF-8)
3) I have not tested all available locales with explicitly spelled canonical
charset yet. If you want to test this yourself, here is a simple test program:
/* gcc -o testlocale testlocale.c -lX11 */
/* Testcase: LANG=..... ./testlocale */
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/X.h>
int main()
{
if (!setlocale(LC_ALL, "")) {
printf("Locale isn't supported by C library\n");
return 1;
}
if (!XSupportsLocale()) {
printf("Locale isn't supported by X library\n");
return 1;
}
}
