Comment:
If you try to set LC_CTYPE or any of the other locale variables, bash will
warn that setlocale fails. This is probably because Haiku doesn’t ship
with any glibc locale files, so applications won’t even know what
character encoding is associated with a locale. On Linux (Debian squeeze),
these files seem to be installed under /usr/share/i18n.
This also means that any application that relies on C/POSIX locale support
for finding out the character encoding will fail, including applications
such as svn. And because the locale files are not installed, setting
LC_CTYPE will not mean anything.
