the old limit was one byte too short to support locale names of the form xx_XX.UTF-8@modifier where modifier is more than 3 bytes, a form which various real-world locale names take. the problem could be avoided by omitting the useless ".UTF-8" part, but users may need to have it present when operating on mixed-libc systems or when it will be carried over (e.g. across ssh) to other systems. the new limit is chosen sufficient for existing/reasonable locale names while still keeping the size of setlocale's static buffer small. also add locale_impl.h to the Makefile's list of headers which force rebuild of source files, to prevent dangerously inconsistent object files from getting used after this change.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
