-> I've made LOCPATH not be set except when git-annex is built with ghc
-> older than 7.10, since the problem was fixed in ghc 7.10.
->
-> Also, I loved the LOCPATH setting into the linker shim script, rather
-> than in runshell, so it will only affect the programs bundled with
-> git-annex (itself and git and a few other things). Which are not
-> localized anyway in the bundle. So, even in builds where it's still set
-> (the linux ancient build in particular), things done in the runshell
-> environment won't be affected.
->
-> I do wonder if there could be problems with incompatabilities between the
-> bundled glibc and the system locale files, which might be for a
-> newer/older libc version. Not so much random `.mo` files, which seem
-> quite portable across glibc versions, but the more core locale files.
-> If that turns out to be a problem, LOCPATH might have to be turned back
-> on.

-> For now, [[done]] --[[Joey]]
