[Bug localedata/2838] New: locales/zoneinfo when cross-compiling.

[jciccone at linuxfromscratch dot org]

When cross-compiling glibc the locales and zoneinfo aren't installed.

For installing the timezone/zoneinfo stuff. A runable zic is needed. I'm going
to attach a patch that builds zic-host and then zic-host is run when
cross-compiling. I know that this patch probably doesn't build zic-host the
proper way but, The concept is still there.

I've been trying to do the same thing for localedef. Build localedef-host and
use that to install the locales. But so far I've been unsuccesful.

The same problem also applies to rpcgen-generated files and librpcsvc.

CodeSourcery has patches (to glibc 2.3) to support generating locales when
cross-compiling.  They will be included in the toolchains for ColdFire GNU/Linux
we plan to release.  Substantial changes are required, even if you can presume
the build system is running GNU/Linux; we have presumed that such substantial
changes in support of cross-compilation would not be accepted upstream.

Patches have also previously been produced elsewhere for a cross-rpcgen, but I
don't have details handy.

I'm not adding any cross-compile support.
