Locales

Hi

The current libstdc++ docs at:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/install.html

say that you need a bunch of locales installed to ensure a "pass" of all the
named locale tests. I know this was true (for sure) in the gcc-3.3.x series.

However, with gcc-3.4.3 I've just discovered by accident that all the named
locale tests will pass even with no locales installed at all (I'm on
i686-pc-linux-gnu and configured with  --enable-clocale=gnu)

Are the docs wrong?
Is the testsuite fubar?

I'd appreciate some clarification here and will gladly file a bug if
appropriate.

Thanks
Greg
