Description Waldemar Brodkorb 2018-03-04 12:11:04 UTC
Hi,

with uClibc-ng 1.0.29 there is a stub implementation for libintl and gettext-tiny
(msgfmt, xgettext, ..) is included. The included minimal iconv implementation works fine for most of the packages and use-cases for small desktop systems.
Therefore I suggest to remove libintl/libiconv selection from the uclibc profile.

best regards
 Waldemar

I'm still having some difficulties moving past uclibc-ng-1.0.26.  I tried to jump to 1.0.28 and got breakage wrt LD_LIBRARY_PATH in python:3.5 when trying to locate libgcc_s.so.  This was hit in a catalyst run and I had to backtrack to 1.0.26.  I'm going to try to settle down there again and then see if a jump to 1.0.29 breaks again.  If it does, I'll open a second bug and see if we can track that down.  Once on 1.0.29, we can drop the dependency on a standalone libintl.

uclibc support in Gentoo has been removed.
