[PATCH] locarchive.c nested macros

[Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>]

Hi!

I have only 256MB of RAM on my workstation and compiling
locarchive.c takes lots of memory at least with gcc 2.96-RH
(230MB before I killed it), with gcc 3.1 it is slightly better (~ 100MB)
but anyway building glibc with -j3 is problematic then.
The thing is that stpcpy is extremely huge macro (we need to do something
for gcc 3.2, so that stpcpy is properly optimized by the compiler and
we don't have to do all this), and nesting it 5 times means the resulting
preprocessed source is ~6MB and the early compiler passes are fed lots of
data till most of it is optimized away. After following patch, locarchive.i
is ~ 730KB and compiling it eats way less memory.
At least with gcc-3.1, the generated code is identical.

	* locale/programs/locarchive.c (add_locales_to_archive): Don't nest
	too many stpcpy macros.
