The patch works for me as well when not skipping the OPTS="${CFLAGS}",
but this leads to a needless duplication of some define flags during
compilation. I didn't trace it down too long, probably there is an
equivalent patch that doesn't touch the OPTS="${CFLAGS}", but it looks
quite redundant once we are employing 'append-flags ...', right?

Yeah, this is part of what I meant with "2) NLS not working". However
fixing this obvious problem (INSTALLNLSDIR) is not enough as you can see
with my patch. Fixing the main Makefile (LOCALEDIR) is necessary, too,
to inform {whois,mkpasswd}.c about where the locales can be found.

That's right. They simply did not notice this problem because they
always install to /usr/... but they are intrinsically affected anyway.
