>Description:
The problem occurs during "make buildworld" if the user executing the
command has locales set in his environment. The problem was noticed with
de_DE.ISO8859-1 and de_DE.ISO8859-15, but seems to occur with some other
locales, as well.
The symptom is that "make buildworld" breaks in src/lib/libedit due
to missing definitions. This is caused by corruption of the contents
of the generated file fcns.h. The root cause is a bad call of tr,
using a-z A-Z as parameters. There is an attempted fix by setting
LC_ALL=C, but this does not help.
The thread "weird locale problems" on -current has more background
about the tr behaviour.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set your shell to the de_DE.ISO8859-15 locale
Go to src/lib/libedit
make a backup copy of fcns.h
make clean fcns.h
compare new and old file
>Fix:
cvs diff -u makelist
