Ask upstream to fix it... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92017 ***
Yeah, but ask WHO?

There is nothing to "fix" upstream - at most it's a missing feature. And before sending people to us, why not apply the patch in bug #92017 - or at least comment on it? Of course if you have a different solution for this problem that works without using setlocale, at least I would be happy to hear it.

LOL, but I have done that patch, and this bugreport was mistake - I overlooked reported bug. I think it would be nice, if you add that -r1 (from bug #92017) to Portage tree. Is not best solution, but better then nothing, huh?
