[uClibc] Locale/Gettext support in uClibc and buildroot.

[Gary, Wong]

Hi all,

Does anyone experience with the GNU gettext linke with uclibc and 
buildroot. I have complie that simple test program with  gnu gettext 
(gettext- 0.11.5) linked with libintl.so, but it seems not work too. 
Could you give me some idea about that.

Regards,
Gary
