Looks good to me.
It is already common practice for the build to set:
LC_ALL=C
export LC_ALL
Note that this doesn't seem to be happening for the tests run by 'make
test', at least not on Solaris. The result is a bunch of date/time
formatting test failures. Manually setting LC_CTYPE=C before running
'make tests' fixes the problem.
True. This situation could be improved. I found "LC_ALL=C; export
LC_ALL" (or the equivalent) spread liberally throughout Makefiles and
scripts. The only documentation I found mentioning locale was in a
netbeans make README, which is buried pretty far down:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/file/tip/make/netbeans/README
It's on my list to fix...
Good, thanks.
