This is an accurate statement. It does not say we need to pass this everywhere, not does it say we are specifically avoiding i18n in chapter 5. It states that it is not needed. Though to be more accurate, we could add "this avoids a gettext dependency in glibc later on". > It's a hangover from the days when the Pass1's of Binutils and GCC were > statically linked.

I use it for my scripts except when I run my scripts in reference (testing) mode which is strictly by-the-book. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
