A locale question.

The POSIX testsuite defines some pseudo languages to test locale.

1. VSX4L0 only defines LC_CTYPE. Should LC_ALL work? I mean when a new
   locale only defines the parts of LC_ALL, should it uses the rest
   from the default one? It seems that the POSIX testsuite expects this
   behavior. Who is correct?
2. It makes up some value for int_curr_symbol. glibc doesn't like it.
   And glibc complains some other things.

# make -k
