It seems that locales compiled on big endian architectures do not work on
little endian architectures, however locales compiled on a little endian
architecture work on both big and little endian.
In the case at hand, locales made on sparc-linux do not work on i386-linux,
the symptom is that setlocale() fails. I've also seen the same thing happen
when locales are compiled on a powerpc-linux system.

I know there is this problem but I really cannot convince me it's
worth working on this since it's all completely rewritten for 2.2.

Fair enough, however this ought to be noted as a known bug somewhere. I
assume this is not in issue in 2.2 then?

The BUGS file is just for that.

No. The 2.2 locales are stored in /usr/lib. I've removed tne endian
independence since this would make the file too large.
