[Bug localedata/11485] New: output century (%C) is off by one

[bugtrack at roumenpetrov dot info]

I could not resolve this with localedata - as example year 2010 is from 21
century for Bulgarian.
To me this is bug in code but I'm not sure that for all locales is correct to
replace line for case 'C' from file strftime_l.c from:
  DO_NUMBER (1, year / 100 - (year % 100 < 0));
to:
  DO_NUMBER (1, year / 100 - (year % 100 < 0) + (year >= 0));

No, this is not what "century" means.  Century are the leading two digits.  It
is highly unlikely that you should define this in any European locale.

This is issue where standard as IEC_TR_14652 didn't meet expectation -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century.
May I change subject and to request a GNU extension flag  ?
