Re: GNU sed version 4.2.1: on OS X, C locale gets aliased to UTF-8

[Paul Eggert]

Alas, I don't use OS X, or Mac OS X, or whatever it's called
these days, so I can't easily test any fix, and I'd like some
discussion if possible.

In January Bruno wrote that my proposed patch
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00319.html>
would break gettext-based i18n of GNU programs on OS X; see
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00342.html>.

In July Max Horn proposed a different patch, which he said is more logical
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-07/msg00097.html>.
Max's patch would set the codeset to be ASCII if
the codeset is UTF-8 but MB_CUR_MAX is 1.  This seems like
it should do the trick, and shouldn't break any system
that isn't already broken.

Nobody has replied to Max's proposal, as far as I know.
Are there any objections if I install his July patch?
