They're on my short list. That doesn't guarantee anything :-(
But barring unforseen circumstances I'll be dealing with them soon.
Experimentation with gcj shows that the glibc in RH 6.2 returns UCS-2
in big-endian order but the glibc in 7.0 returns UCS-2 with native
endian-ness. This means ugly (aesthetically, not difficult) configure
hacking to figure out what to do. For RH 6.2 (meaning the glibc
version, not the system) disabling the nl_langinfo stuff might be the
best approach; I have some more testing to do first.
