Andrew Black closed STDCXX-258.
-------------------------------
Confirmed fixed in a manual test.
How I tested was by creating a 'fake' locale and localedef script, which echoed
an error message indicating that it wasn't the desired utility, then exited
with a non-zero status. These scripts were placed in a directory which I
prepended to $PATH, then used this PATH to run the sanity_test.sh and
en_US.UTF-8.sh scripts. Both tests ran to completion.
I could see a benefit in altering the test infrastructure so that it used this
strategy as part of the tests, but that would be an enhancement for 4.2.1 or
later.

> At this time, the run_locale_utils.sh script invoks the locale and localedef
> utilities using the PATH environment variable to determine the location of
> the utilities. This creates a problem if the bin subdirectory of the
> buildspace isn't in the PATH variable (likely), or if a system copy of locale
> or localedef is present in the PATH variable prior to the buildspace bin
> subdirectory.
> One possible solution is to alter the PATH variable when calling the
> run_locale_utils.sh script, either manually or in the stub locale and
> sanity_check scripts. The trade off of this method is that other programs
> may be invoked incorrectly, if the altered PATH masks another utility used in
> the script.
> A second possibility is to alter the run_locale_utils.sh script to use
> relative or absolute paths to the locale and localedef utilities.
