Re: Serious internationalization problems: revert?

Wrt (1) at least CVS Wed Oct 17 23:03:18 UTC 2001 is working for me
on i686-unknown-sysv5UnixWare7.1.0 which had been failing for me before.


I needed to follow Zack's instructions, running autoconf and autoheader
again
and also found I needed to remove config.cache. make distclean didn't cut
it.
Maybe maintainerclean would have.

My setup is screwy though. Hope this helps
