Are there any such programs in FreeBSD distribution? It should be much more practical to release a small "patch" that included a repaired locale-safe libc, plus the static binaries, plus the "lfix" program with a script to go through and install everything. The thing that terrified me was the possibility that one would have to generate a large "patch" to fix every binary... I will get my butt in gear and go look to see if lfix works on 2.0, 2.0.5, and 2.1.0. ...
