I've updated glibc to glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 version cuple of days ago. After ebuild was successfully finished, I've been most unpleasently surprised to learn that sr_YU (my locale, Im from Serbia and Montenegro) is missing. All other locales are installed (as I can see in /usr/share/i18n/locales) but the one I need. I've tried using userlocales with sr_YU.UTF-8/UTF-8 in /etc/locales.build and also tried with LINGUAS set to sr_YU, but that didn't help either. I've just peeked into glibc patches in current portage tree and it looks like sr_YU has been removed in glibc-2.3.4-branch-update-20040808 and glibc-2.3.4-branch-update-20041001?

sr_YU was removed upstream. If you're interested in keeping this locale, I suggest contacting the upstream developers and offering to maintain it.
