System: NetBSD miyu 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (MIYU) #0: Tue Dec 14 04:03:09 MET 1999 feyrer@miyu:/data/cvs/src-1.4/sys/arch/i386/compile/MIYU i386


>Description:
	The <X11/Xlocale.h> header file has the following line in it:
	#define setlocale _Xsetlocale

	When trying to compile a program that uses this header file and
	the ANSI setlocale(3) function at the same time, a link time
	error occurs. 

	"grep -l _Xsetlocale /usr/X11R6/lib/lib*" didn't find a 
	_Xsetlocale function, and reading the the setlocale(3) manpage
	didn't give any hints.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to compile the "hotkey" program from the toshutils
	(URL: http://www.ne426pd.in2home.co.uk/toshutils-991217.tar.gz), 
	get linker errors:

	cc -s -o hotkey hotkey.o hci.o sci.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
	hotkey.o: Undefined symbol `__Xsetlocale' referenced from text segment

>Fix:
	Short term:
	 * #undef setlocale in the application, after pulling in
	   <X11/Xlocale.h>

	Long term: unsure.
	 * remove that define?
	 * Add _Xsetlocale function to libX11?
