[PATCH] locale: XFAIL newlocale usage in static binary (Bug 23164)

[Rafal Luzynski]

Carlos,

This is a very incomplete review.  So far I can only confirm that your
patch compiles and adds one more XFAIL to the test results.

Would you please mention it in the commit message?

I think this is just a nitpick but as far as I can see most commit
messages contain a double space between the sentences.  The same
applies to your whole commit message.

OK, you remove tst-langinfo and tst-langinfo-static and add
tst-langinfo-newlocale, tst-langinfo-setlocale, tst-langinfo-newlocale-static,
and tst-langinfo-setlocale-static instead.

OK, consequently tst-langinfo-static replaced with
tst-langinfo-newlocale-static and tst-langinfo-setlocale-static.
Where is tst-langinfo replaced with tst-langinfo-newlocale and
tst-langinfo-setlocale?  I guess it happens somewhere automagically.

OK, consequently the test results file names changed and the same in more
places in Makefile, so I will just skip it.

Maybe I'm wrong but instead of creating a new file whose only line is
"#include <another-file.c>" wouldn't it be better to generate the static
binaries from the same source file(s) but just with different build
options?

Same here.

OK, correct currency symbol for USA, and also correct for Germany, France,
and Japan below (skipped here).


> OK to commit?

Again, my review is very incomplete so I cannot guarantee and I cannot
give my "Reviewed-by" tag.

That said, I don't object so unless anybody else objects it is OK.
Feel free to take my nitpicks into account or reject them, they
are not strong objections.

Regards,

Rafal
