Fremantle's GlibC ( 2.5.1-1eglibc27+0m5 ) compiled with gcc-4.7.

Step1, compile:
Code:
git clone git://gitorious.org/~aaporantalainen/community-ssu/aaporantalainens-glibc.git
cd aaporantalainens-glibc
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
-> several deb-files, only libc6_2.5.1-1eglibc28_armel.deb is used (others are not installed as default).

Step2, installing to the (thumb-)device:
Code:
dpkg -i libc6_2.5.1-1eglibc28_armel.deb
Step3, using:
Code:
reboot
Locales are broken. Seems same than in thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52443 but can't be solved with the same method. E.g. 2.0MB /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive (instead of 21MB). After downgrading locales work again.

Step4, downgrade:
Code:
apt-get install libc6=2.5.1-1eglibc27+0m5

Why locales break?
