cross compiled glibc should install locales, or postinstall

[rxrbln]

Currently a cross compiled glibc is missing all the pre-compiled locales. We should either hack those to generate somehow, or run the most important ones (en_US.UTF-8?) postinstall.d

crosstool-ng simply copies locales from native build, it's far from ideal though.

Also on musl, by design, the locale always points out to the internal musl C.UTF-8 locale so we might add LANG="C.UTF-8" in the /etc/profile.d/locale as a default to the install menu when installing a musl target or something.

cool, does glibc supports C.UTF-8?

Support has been added to glibc and is stated to ship in 2.35 (aka next release).

Maybe we could try and import the 16 patches from this commit but meh: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=466f2be6c08070e9113ae2fdc7acd5d8828cba50

yeah, I saw your message on discord and was thinking about it. But in the grand scheme of things I considered it too minor to break stuff now in the last minute when we just get it automatically next year. The 21.12 release will run localdef for the chosen language ;-)
