problems with generating locales under XEN

problems with generating locales under XEN

[Sergey Lapin]

Hi, all!
I use XEN virtual machine taken from service provider to build OE images.
Everything is OK except generating locales, which stops with error message,
that  the following command failed:
PATH="/home/slapin/OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi:/home/slapin/OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/sbin:/home/slapin/OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin:/home/slapin/OE/tmp/cross/bin:/home/slapin/OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/sbin:/home/slapin/OE/bitbake/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games"
I18NPATH="/home/slapin/OE/tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/glibc-2.6.1-r11/locale-tree//usr/share/i18n"

--inputfile=/usr/share/i18n/locales/ru_RU --charmap=UTF-8 ru_RU

When I try to run this line, it just segfaults.

I tried to debug it with gdb and got the following:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

(gdb)

Backtrace is meaningless in this case. The message qemu prints does not appear
when run not from gdb. It also appears when run under strace.

Any ideas?

All the best,
S.
