           Summary: re-search for locale aliases in archives
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW

patch that fixes this problem

If a locale alias is defined in locale.alias but not in an archive, and the
referenced locale is only present in the archive, setlocale will fail if given
the alias name.  This is unintuitive.  We should search the archive for the
definition of the locale, even if the alias is defined in locale.alias.
