First, I want to thank everyone for taking the time to explain what
was going on. It's now clear that I was confused, and things aren't
as bad as I thought. I'd like to see the Makefile changes so that if
there wasn't an empty /boot/device.hints, one was created, but that's
relatively minor.

hi,

This is set of patches for libc which allow user to use locale
aliases. Currently it's only possible to use locale aliases
by creating one more symbolic link in /usr/share/locale, i.e.
if I want to have locale named "ru" I have to:
ln -s /usr/share/loca
The following got no response on -security two weeks ago. Perhaps
-current will have more opinions.

Why you always check LC_CTYPE existance only? It may not exist but other
locale parts, f.e. LC_TIME are still valid. It is not required to have
LC_CTYPE for locale.

LC_ALL overrides all other LC_* variables. If it is set, there is no need to
check anything else.

Just repeat the same procedure as regular algorithm gives for LC_ALL
processing.

Can you not revert the test: if the locale is present in the alias file,
then it obviously is an alias; otherwise it should be present on the
system?

I have a situation where some device files are being mmaped (to the tune of a
couple of hundred megs) and then there's some memory allocation happening. The
