Jason,

Support for bind_textdomain_codeset() in Python's locale module (namely
Modules/_localemodule.c) is dependent on an AC_CHECK_FUNC test.
Unfortunately, this only looks in libc, where we (and other non-glibc
platforms) rely on libintl for these functions, resulting in a false
negative.

Since _locale is already linked against libintl, an easy fix is to just
add ac_cv_func_bind_textdomain_codeset=yes to CYGCONF_ARGS.  When you
updated Python to 2.6.6, could you include this as well?


Yaakov
