tags 638186 fixed-upstream thanks So, I've added locale(7) in the SEE ALSO references of locale(5) and environ(7). Note that locale(5) describes a FILE, while locale(7) describes environment variables. I also applied the diff below to environ(7). I believe this is sufficient to address the problem. If not, let me know.
