This patch allows us to use glibc's build system to build locales in a package separate from glibc. 1. Use 'localedef' from $PATH since we are not rebuilding it. 2. Use '--no-archive' to avoid building the big locale archive, and because the already-built 'localedef' would want to write it to '/run/current-system/locale', which is not possible. 3. Pass $(localedir)/$$locale to install files in the right place, and because otherwise, 'localedef' fails with: "cannot write output files to `(null)'". --- glibc-2.20/localedata/Makefile 2014-09-07 10:09:09.000000000 +0200 +++ glibc-2.20/localedata/Makefile 2015-02-11 10:23:55.560545568 +0100 @@ -217,7 +217,7 @@ INSTALL-SUPPORTED-LOCALES=$(addprefix in # Sometimes the whole collection of locale files should be installed.
