disableing locale completely.

[seema ravandale]

Hi.

I am working on toolchain maintained for arm port. I am using option 
disable-nls to disable language internationalization. so default locales 
installed  will be "C" and "POSIX". To set up other locale, i use 
localedef option.

As far my knowledge, disable-nls will disable functionality of gettext 
utility.
With the libc installation, locale data too get installed, By locale 
data, i meant local definitions file, charmaps and message formatter 
file (.mo files).

On disabling language internationalization, why are the locale data 
files still needed?
Is there a way, or any option already available in libc not to get 
locale data files installed?

Thanking you.
