9 I don't have to worry about l10n here (thankfully). Thus, I know
10 relatively little about it. However, I do recognize the userlocales flag
11 -- it was a local USE flag for glibc, but isn't used any more with the
12 latest versions. The documentation is therefore becoming outdated, altho
13 there are still glibc versions in the tree using userlocales, and in fact
14 a quick run of earch reveals only x86 has stabilized the newer version
15 without that flag, so it's not entirely outdated yet.

17 There's a newer way to control the same thing that userlocales controlled,
18 but I didn't understand it when it was posted here. Check the archives
19 tho, if no one posts with more info. There's a thread on it, tho I
20 couldn't tell you for sure when it was, other than earlier this year AFAIK.
