Upstream sayeth (subject "Re: libc/3856", 2002-06-22): | Not filling in the am/pm strings is a mean to say that the | people in the country the locale is fow are not to backward | as to use the am/pm format anymore. This definitely is the | case for the UK. | | THe am/pm strings will only be set if this is the official | notation. It's unfortunately the case in the US and I have | strong hopes nobody else is following this horrible example. | It is not enough if the format is used by some media | companies (which can be US dominated). | | So your task: fix all the broken programs which have | problems with no am/pm format being available and provide | proff that Australia really officially uses the am/pm format. Michael Graham reports by contrast that although 24h time is now the preferred format but he and many other people in the UK still prefer to see AM/PM time, and the "date" utility's %p specifier does not work without this. >From fedora glibc-2.3.3-57 (2004-09-25) and perhaps earlier. That the patch is by Jakub is just a guess.
