[uClibc]the 'strcmp' function supports only C|POSIX locales

FUP'ing myself, maybe this is of interrest.

I creates this test-program:

| #include <stdio.h>
| 
| int main () {
|         if (strcmp("aa", "bb")) {
|                 printf("Yallah!\n");
|         } else {
|                 printf("Nooyah!\n");
|         }
|         return 0;
| }

And during compile I get:

| /tmp/ccKutWaR.o(.text+0x1e): In function `main':
| : the 'strcmp' function supports only C|POSIX locales

I changed it to this, although I am not familiar with locales, this
*should* work:

| #include <stdio.h>
| #include <locale.h>
| 
| int main () {
|         setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
|         if (strcmp("aa", "bb")) {
|                 printf("Yallah!\n");
|         } else {
|                 printf("Nooyah!\n");
|         }
|         return 0;
| }

And now it says:

| /tmp/cceyB8fy.o(.text+0x1b): In function `main':
| : the 'setlocale' function supports only C|POSIX locales
| /tmp/cceyB8fy.o(.text+0x30): In function `main':
| : the 'strcmp' function supports only C|POSIX locales

I even added 'locale' to the Makefile of my testprogram, so I see what
locale it uses when invoking the compiler, all LC_* and LANG settings
are set to "C".

I tried using 'strcasecmp'. The compile-warnings/errors go away then,
but the resulting binaries (ebtables/iptables) still do not work.

But still it is weird that my test program /does/ work. *raah*:

| # ./bla
| Yallah!
| Nooyah!
| # 

Help :)

Regards,
Sander.
