Hi all,
Here's a small oneliner patch to fix xserver's build using locales that
have latin-based alphabets but have different uppercasing/lowercasing
rules as Western languages, such as Turkish [1].
Basically, this patch forces LC_ALL=C when running awk to generate
hw/xfree86/common/xf86DefModeSet.c to force English lowercasing rules.
This patch is currently applied in Gentoo on top of 1.5.2.
Thanks

Subject: [PATCH] force LC_ALL=C when running awk
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This bug was reported by a user trying to build the server with a
Turkish locale (tr_TR). The problem is that the Turkish alphabet is
latin-based, but not entirely similar. The bug comes from vesamodes
which has "Interlaced", which is then converted to lowercase by
modelines2c.awk. Execept that with a Turkish locale
tolower("Interlaced") is not "interlaced" but "ınterlaced", which the
rest of the script fails to understand.
This patch forces LC_ALL=C when running the awk script to always get the
intended latin en_US alphabet.
