Description Joseph Myers 2012-02-29 21:44:52 UTC 
With multiarch enabled x86 builds of glibc, used on systems without SSSE3, the test localedata/tst-xlocale1 fails because strcasecmp_l and strncasecmp_l are wrongly implemented through an assembly implementation of strcmp that is not prepared to implement those functions.  I'll send a patch to libc-alpha.  This issue applies to both master and 2.15 branch.
