sys-libs/glibc is lacking dependency on app-arch/gzip. gzip is necessary for the ocale-gen script, which is part of the sys-libs/glibc package. When bootstrapping a new system, grep needs to be manually pushed into the target root directory, otherwise the locale generation is not possible. There is also a warning aboout missing awk, which however doesn't seem to be detrimental to the script functionality.

this sounds like you're bootstrapping wrong. the packages cited are part of the implicit system set which we explicitly do not put dependencies on in other packages. grep is needed by literally every package with a configure script (including itself).
Whatever.
don't know what game you're trying to play, but the glibc ebuilds are still incorrect. we need to revert the deps to fix.

(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #5) it sounds like you're asking why implicit system exists. and as i said, this *isn't* actually a complete list.

I am asking you to explain what problem removing the deps solves.
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #8) and the answer is the same for why we have implicit system in the first place. i also lightly touched on it in the commit message. if you want to add these useless deps everywhere, then start a gentoo-dev thread arguing why we should get rid of implicit system.
The devmanual states that packages that are in the system set should declare all of their dependencies. glibc is in the system set, so this rule should apply.
Seriously you could have maybe bothered to ask why it was added. Reverted, and please DO NOT TOUCH glibc again without my explicit OK.

If these dependencies were even to be there, then: - It seems that sys-apps/sed, sys-apps/coreutils (cat, mkdir, rm) are missing. - Conditional groups of dependencies seem misplaced: For "!compile-locales? ( ... )", IDEPEND is appropriate. For "compile-locales? ( ... )", BDEPEND is appropriate.
