Here it is: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/03/17/3 (or
"[musl] libintl: stubs or working functions?" Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:59:16
+0700)

I don't remember what did not work, I just get back to it again two
days ago - recovered a file attached, compiled with msgfmt, set
environment:

MUSL_LOCPATH=/tmp LC_ALL=ru_RU ./date

and it still prints in English. I had at the time file ru_RU in /tmp
and strace confirmed musl mmaped that file.

I attach "date.c" test program I expected to work.

I probably messed up with msgfmt or something I do not remember now.
