My system doesn't have langinfo.h and when compiling nano it fails at nano.c. Removing the include to <langinfo.h> lets things compile. Is there a need for <langinfo.h> ?? Reproducible: Always
emerge --info, please. langinfo.h is part of glibc.
I'm using prefix (Gentoo/Alt) so I don't use glibc. But regardless of that, it seems to be a useless include.

your system is broken ... nano does use it and the header is required by POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/nl_langinfo.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/langinfo.h.html i can probably get upstream to change it so the include only happens when ENABLE_UTF8 is defined, but if you want to use USE=unicode on a system which is not POSIX compliant, that's your problem
I don't use USE=unicode, so it seems adding ENABLE_UTF8 is the right approach.
Created attachment 159939 [details, diff] langinfo patch How about this patch, does it resolve the issue? At least it doesn't break for me.
Yes, that's exactly what vapier suggested in comment #4
good. SpanKY, do you want to apply it in gentoo-x86, or shall I just keep it in Prefix?
I guess adding it to prefix would be good for now.
Ok, added, also filed a "patch" for it https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?6565 I guess that fixes the issue for us.
