locale -a does not list GB18030, and autoconf/cmake and others will then think the GB18030 locale is not installed. locale -a should list ALL supported locales, with FULL language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier] string, and not just the legacy language[_territory] string, which is pretty useless for autoconf/cmake.
