>Description:
 The Makefile for localedata subdirectory uses chroot(1) during
installation process which makes the process fail.

>How-To-Repeat:
 Issue:

make -C localedata install_root=/var/tmp/glibc-2.0.95-root install-locales

in the root source directory from a non-root account.

>Fix:
 Here is an example patch that fixed the problem for me.
