Change Details

The current localdef simply assumes that the locale headers on build system are compatible with those on the target system which is not necessarily true. It generally works on FreeBSD (as long as we don't change the locale headers), but Linux and macOS provide completely different locale headers. This change is quite ugly and introduces namespacing of the xlocale structures since many system headers *must* be able to include the "real" locale headers for printf(), etc., but we also want to access the target systems's locale structures.

It generally works on FreeBSD (as long as we don't change the locale headers), but Linux and macOS provide completely different locale headers. This change adds new bootstrap headers that namespace certain xlocale structures defined or used by in the headers that localdef needs. This is required since system headers *must* be able to include the "real" locale headers for printf(), etc., but we also want to access the target systems's internal locale structures.
