This, unfortunately, introduces a conflict with the UTF-8 patch, please
help resolving this. Thanks for pointing out that the patch creates an
inconsistency between chapters. But I am not sure that it is indeed the
best to make a link from Chapter 6 to Chapter 5. Maybe, since locale
installation instructions in Chapter 5 are completely optional, it is
more logical to kill all the instructions there, and add a link to
Chapter 6?
OK, I wasn't really thinking about the UTF-8 patch. I just noticed that
the exact same text was used in both chapters 5 and 6 to describe the
installation of locales, and it's redundant. Also, having a link in
chapter 6 back to chapter 5 is already done with the GCC testsuite
description, so I just wanted to be consistent with what's already there.
