By the way, how does locale work today? We have it working for static
linked binaries right now, you know...

Krille:compile/Krille# echo $LANG
sv
Krille:compile/Krille# file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Digital VAX, version 1 (SYSV), for
NetBSD, statically linked, stripped
Krille:compile/Krille# \ls kaka
ls: kaka: Filen eller katalogen finns ej

This does seem to make the "dynamic linked binaries are required for
locale" seem like a bit hollow an argument?

I still want /bin and /sbin to be static linked, and I *don't* want a
/lib...
