Ok thats easy, but glibc need additional files in your chroot/initramfs 
to enable locale support (some files from /usr/share/locale - and maybe 
others; I'm no locale guru).

If you have trouble with this, can't you use a prebuild version for your 
system?

e.g. one from http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/

Maybe the documents and scripts from rob are a good source of 
information for the things you are trying. They may give you a working 
point to start into your own projects.
