Re: libstdc++/4701: imbue(locale("de_DE")) not working

[Peter Schmid <schmid at snake dot iap dot physik dot tu-darmstadt dot de>]

Unfortunately, named locales still do not work on my system with a gcc
3.1 compiler bootstrapped some hours ago today. Maybe we have
different glibc versions? Also note that running the libstdc++
regression test suite shows these failures:

		=== libstdc++-v3 tests ===


Running target unix
FAIL: 22_locale/codecvt.cc (test for excess errors)
FAIL: 22_locale/ctor_copy_dtor.cc execution test
FAIL: 22_locale/facet.cc execution test
FAIL: 27_io/ios_manip_fmtflags.cc execution test

The first three failures are not present for the gcc 3.0.2 compiler.

My system setup is: Glibc 2.2, Linux 2.4.10, i686-pc-linux-gnu,
binutils version version 2.11.90.0.23, SuSE 7.1.

Hope this helps,

Peter Schmid
