Comment (by hsyl20):

 Fixed with my patch for #10298 (see my comment there).

 Can you check that you obtain the same result on your system with this
 code:

 {{{
 $> cat test.c
 #include <langinfo.h>
 #include <locale.h>
 #include <stdio.h>

 int main() {
    setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
    printf("LC_CTYPE: %s\n", nl_langinfo(CODESET));
    return 0;
 }

 $> gcc -static -L/path/to/static/glibc test.c -o test
 $> sudo chroot `pwd` /test
 LC_CTYPE: ANSI_X3.4-1968
 }}}

 I don't know if the default LC_CTYPE is the same everywhere...

 (You should get the same result if you have compiled the glibc with
 --disable-shared when you call ./test directly without the chroot)
