  | I think though that the locale can be fixed the same way the pam was (by

Why are we using dynamic linking for locales?   Sure, that should work, but
a local is just a bunch of data, is it not?   Wouldn't just malloc()ing a space
to stick it, and doing a simple read() work?   Or at worst, reading a header
to find out how many structs are needed, then malloc() and read() the rest.

What does using dynamic linking really achieve (aside from that the support
is there already, and needed for other stuff.)
