I got this question. I am not familiar with locale. Should I add
setlocale (LC_CTYPE,"");
to all
setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, "");

Most programs in binutils only setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, ""); - as most
languages contain non-ASCII character, messages in these languages won't
be shown correctly, but have lots of embedded question marks.
To fix this, either add setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"") as well or change to
setlocale(LC_ALL) - the reason I'm not doing it is than I'm not familiar
enough with binutils to be sure this doesn't affect the produced binaries
in a negative way.
