locale.alias and charset.alias are included in INSTALL_MASK by profiles/features/musl/make.defaults, and this causes locale.alias not being installed into /usr/share/X11/locale. This causes segfaults in st and XOpenIM errors in dmenu if the locale is set to 'C.UTF-8' or unset(defaulted to 'C.UTF-8'). This does not occur on Alpine and Sabotage as /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias is present on both. The profile in question is the musl profile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Gentoo following https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_musl 2. Setup xorg and set the locale to 'en_US.UTF-8' so that st runs the first time 3. ls /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias 4. emerge st 5. add st to .xinitrc and run startx In st, run 6. LC_ALL='C.UTF-8' st 6. emerge dmenu 7. echo 1 | LC_ALL='C.UTF-8' dmenu Actual Results: /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias is missing. st segfaults and dmenu warns about 'no locale support' and exits with 'XOpenIM failed: could not open input device' with exit code 1. Expected Results: /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias should be present. ST should open up a window and dmenu should appear with '1' in the upper part of the screen.
Okay, so we need INSTALL_MASK to be a full path, I suppose.
Seems to be a viable solution.

According to the list of bugs in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=2db918ff33b15be6731b3cd87266b7f62efeacf3 it occurs only in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias. /etc/locale.alias doesn't seem to present on most systems and doesn't seem to have file conflict problems
OOf that's the one I meant, and slightly confused by the /usr/share/locale vs /usr/share/X11/locale similarity... Scratch the ref. to /etc then .. my mistake!
