The locale program source for uClibc is in extra/local/programs/locale.c

However, attempting to build it the obvious way adding another line to the build
commands in the .mk file does not work

define UCLIBC_BUILD_CMDS
	$(UCLIBC_MAKE) -C $(@D) $(UCLIBC_MAKE_FLAGS) headers
	$(UCLIBC_MAKE) -C $(@D) $(UCLIBC_MAKE_FLAGS)
+	$(UCLIBC_MAKE) -C $(@D) $(UCLIBC_MAKE_FLAGS) extra/locale/programs/locale
	$(MAKE) -C $(@D)/utils \
		PREFIX=$(HOST_DIR) \
		HOSTCC="$(HOSTCC)" hostutils
endef

It gets a build error because of the TARGET_ABI (i386 in this example) inserted by the UCLIBC_MAKE_FLAGS
immediately before i386 extra/locale/programs/locale.c on the gcc command.

Could someone familiar with the uClibc build process give me a pointer how to proceed?

Thanks,

Steve Kenton


UCLIBC_MAKE_FLAGS = \
	ARCH="$(UCLIBC_TARGET_ARCH)" \
	CROSS_COMPILE="$(TARGET_CROSS)" \
	UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS) $(TARGET_ABI)" \
	HOSTCC="$(HOSTCC)"
