Lack of locale support would be defensible, shipping a broken localeconv() isn't. I'm just furious that 20+ OSS projects go out of their way to work around this trivial bug. It's a waste of resources.

Their "struct lconv" violates both the C standard and POSIX. It is
100% a bug.  Lack of locale support would be defensible, shipping
a broken localeconv() isn't.

I'm just furious that 20+ OSS projects go out of their way to work
around this trivial bug.  It's a waste of resources.
