             Bug #: 13118
           Summary: Correct posix/bug-regex32 testsuite failure
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: jpsinthemix@verizon.net
    Classification: Unclassified


Building glibc-2.14 (with gcc-4.6.1, binutils-2.21.1, and linux-3.0.3, the
new test posix/bug-regex32.out fails during a chroot build due to inability
to set locale:

cat glibc-2.14-build/posix/bug-regex32.out
setlocale failed

Note that tests posix/bug-regex30/31 pass as expected. The failure of
posix/bug-regex32 appears to be due to locale environment not being set
up prior to the test. The following patch appears to fix the issue:

--- glibc-2.14.old/posix/Makefile       2011-05-31 00:12:33.000000000 -0400

With this patch, posix/bug-regex32 passes with the output:

cat glibc-2.14-build/posix/bug-regex32.out
regexec = 1 "No match"

Here is the relevant code from glibc-2.14/posix/bug-regex32.c:

 11   if (setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "de_DE.UTF-8") == NULL)
 12     {
 13       puts ("setlocale failed");
 14       return 1;
 15     }

Note that the above patch applies cleanly to the current master:

thanks for your time,
John
