locale in uclibc

[Chien-Yu Chen]

Hi!
  here is the latest stuff I tried....

  since I was not having much luck, I decided to use the Xorg package
(within buildroot) instead of download the Xfree86 source and
compile..

  I had to specify  BuildServersOnly since rxvt (or xterm, can't
remember) won't build since I don't have ncurse......

for my buildroot .config, I have
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y

for my  uClibc.config-locale, I have
UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE=y
UCLIBC_PREGENERATED_LOCALE_DATA=y
UCLIBC_DOWNLOAD_PREGENERATED_LOCALE_DATA=y
UCLIBC_HAS_XLOCALE=y

after that, I compiled glib-1.2, gtk-1.2 against the buildroot
toolchain...(with configure --help, there is no locale related
stuff...so I assume I don't need anything special)

then compile firefox....but I still end up with same error.....
is there some step that I might be missing? thanks
