Using command "free -b" on LANG=pl_PL.utf8 is broken on machines with higher ram size. It results in misformatted output. Lack of separation between first 2 columns breaks programs parsing the output with awk. Example: → LANG=C free --version free from procps-ng 3.3.17 → LANG=C free -b total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 33616953344 28112379904 1954963456 41123840 3549609984 5114142720 Swap: 0 0 0 → LANG=pl_PL.utf8 free -b razem użyte wolne dzielone buf/cache dostępne Pamięć:33616953344 28112961536 1953677312 41123840 3550314496 5113556992 Wymiana: 0 0 0 I'd suggest removing stable flag from the package.
Reporting this upstream may be worthwhile.
Oh, and emerge --info is actually still useful here given formatting/locale/collation can change with glibc versions.

I tested it on 2 machines, different kernels and ram sizes.
