Hi,
I just committed changes which removed byte-order independent locale
files. It was nice and work quite fine with the old implementation
but now the files are simply getting too big to continue support for
this (in case you looked at the files, the LC_CTYPE file for an UTF-8
locale was > 1MB). I don't know whether anybody ever really used this
but even if, the price which everybody would have to pay was too high.
This was phase one to reduce the size of the files. The second step
will include avoiding to write out data (mainly for the wide-char data
of LC_CTYPE) which corresponds to that of the builtin locale.
