From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Joel Klecker To: libc-hacker@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: locales compiled on big endian architectures not shareable Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2000 00:10:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-01/msg00054.html 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. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) Debian Package Maintainer for the GNU C Library.
