localedata/tst-numeric fails

At cvs-head localedata/tst-numeric fails during "make check" since the 
addition of nb_NO.ISO-8859-1 to the LOCALES in localedata/Makefile.
The good news is that ./localedata/nb_NO.ISO-8859-1 does exist in the 
build directories. The bad news is that at runtime the locale support 
reads locale.alias from /usr/share/locale which contains the line:

	nb_NO.ISO-8859-1 no_NO.ISO-8859-1

and no_NO.ISO-8859-1 does not exist within this build. Patching the 
installed locale.alias to comment out this line works but does not seem 
like a long term solution. I am not that familiar with locale support, 
but is there a way to override the installed locale.alias at least for 
this test?
