(b) Do not make ASCII compatibility a warning. See the large comment in locale/programs/charmap.c line ~205. It would appear that the SHIFT_JIS* charmaps violate this ISO C requirement, which could cause problems for some programs, thus the warning (in localedata/gen-locale.sh I work around this for SHIFT_SJIS for testing shift charmaps).
Running a system with Shift JIS may introduce security vulnerabilities because parts of the system will disagree where string literals end, due different interpretations of the 0x5c codepoint.
I think we should add a command line argument to localedef which turns off returning exit status 1 for locales which are not ASCII-compatible.
Thanks, Florian
