Whatever it takes...

The locale_t bits are POSIX btw. And "%m" and "secure_getenv()" are certainly
not idiotic. %m is a nice way to deal with the thread-unsafety of strerror().
And "secure_getenv()" solves serious security problems with handling
environment variables.

I mean, thigns are not "idiotic" just because uclibc doesn't implement them.
Maybe the thread and security issues don't matter to you, but they certainly do
matter to us.

I don't see where we promised compatibility with non-glibc anywhere...

Anyway, closing again, I hope this time you won're reopen it.
