Ondřej, I think we have been miscommunicating. I noticed that a program linked against 2.21 or earlier would abort with an assertion failure when it stumbles upon 2.22 locale data. All the patch tries to do is change the abort to EINVAL (and skip locale data) when that happens. I’m not claiming

When we add an R module, such as R-qtl, the R-build-system does not provide R itself as a propagated input, i.e., the R interpreter is not in the profile. In the R world this is kinda odd. Almost all modules used from R. I.e. start up R and library(qtl) do something with R/qtl Would have use
