The problem that started this is that a set of locales made using the
install-locales target on a sparc system did not work on i386 systems.

Hey, I did some checking between the locales-2.1.1-5.1 and -2.1.1-6 packages.
It seems there is some sort of endianess or byte ordering going on. Here is
a small snippet of output from `cmp -l file-5.1 file-6` (note that I was
running 2.1.1-5 when I compiled this):
1 334 226
2 27 6
3 6 27
4 226 334
5 66 0
8 0 66
9 340 0
12 0 340
13 344 0
16 0 344
17 350 0
20 0 350
21 354 0
24 0 354
25 360 0
28 0 360
29 364 0
32 0 364
There should be enough here so you can see the alternating bytes between the
two files. Perhaps locales needs to be arch-dep after all (and out of
/usr/share for that matter).
HTH,
Ben
