Any ideas? Maybe it is a "compatability" thing, in that locales.build has been updated for you to locale.gen.

Well userlocales USE flag was there in glibc-2.4-r1 but it's absent in glibc-2.4-r2.. But here's the weird thing, I had compiled glibc-2.4-r1 with userlocales USE flag, in my /etc/locales.build I just have en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 so the locale -a output, quiet expectantly, is: C en_US en_US.utf8 POSIX But with 2.4-r2 there is no such flag as userlocales and I was expecting glibc to build all locales, but to my surprise I still have the above said locales only..

I'm afraid I got no idea about it.. Anyway have you changed your locale settings from .UTF-8 to .utf8 (all environment variables etc.,)? Is your system working fine now?

That might be. Then I wonder, why I had no problems with .UTF-8 when I was using 2.4-r1. As I wrote, it might be, that my system was misbehaving, as it accepted .UTF-8 just fine.

Just as an example of .utf8 usage even before glibc-2.4 read this Gentoo Weekly NewsLetter: http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20041108-newsletter.xml#doc_chap7 If you read it carefully you can see the Zulu locale for South Africa being written as zu_ZA.utf8.. Even on my system with 2.4-r1 glibc the locales were like en_US.utf8 and after upgrading to 2.4-r2 they are still the same..
