ldconfig supports `include' directives and use the glob function to
process them. The glob function sort entries according to the LC_COLLATE
category. When using a standard "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" entry
in /etc/ld.so.conf, the order therefore depends on the locale used to
run ldconfig. A few examples of locale specific order that might be
disturbing in that context compared to the C locale:
- The cs_CZ and sk_SK locales sort the digits after the letters.
- The et_EE locale sorts the 'z' between 's' and 't'.
This patch fixes that by setting LC_COLLATE to C in order to process
files in deterministic order, independently of the locale used to launch
ldconfig.
NOTE: This should NOT be backported to older release branches.
Changelog:
[BZ #22505]
* elf/ldconfig.c (main): Call setlocale to force LC_COLLATE to C.
