I'm unable to build glibc-2.2-12_imnx_28 on a machine based on Immunix 7+. I've modified the glibc spec file to get the CoDomain files from /etc instead of using cvs co, and I've removed the setuid bit from /usr/bin/make (having setuid set caused problems with RaceGuard). The build (rpmbuild -bb) fails with a string of errors:

msgfmt -o zh_TW.mo zh_TW.po
zh_TW.po:563: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:564: end-of-line within string
zh_TW.po:568: invalid control sequence
zh_TW.po:569: end-of-line within string
...

Going into the directory and issuing the msgfmt command by hand gives the same errors. I tested vs. another version of glibc from rpmfind.net, and that command went through. It seems that my version of msgfmt (from gettext-0.10.38-7_imnx) does not like zh_TW.po from glibc-2.2-12_imnx_28. Does anyone have an idea what is happening here?

After installing the source rpm, a fast way of reproducing the problem is to use the following commands:
    rpmbuild -bp glibc-2.2.spec
    cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.2/po (or equivalent)
    msgfmt -o zh_TW.mo zh_TW.po

Thanks,
