systutils/arcconf errors on 9.x versions

[David Boyd]

Back in July, this error was discussed briefly on the mailing list(s).

It appears that a fix (r238182) was submitted for inclusion in 9.1 (early).

This problem still appears in 9.1-RC1.

Will the fix be included in 9.1-RELEASE (or better yet 9.1-RC2)?

Thanks.

David Boyd.

This is probably because the private symbol __collate_load_error changed
to macro (i.e. removed) in r235785 after 9.0. If so, it might brake those
older binaries which rely on that symbol, though it's still defined in
Symbol.map. Probably David Chisnall could further comment on this.

This was accidentally removed in the xlocale refactoring.  I've restored =
it in r238182 and CC'd re@ for permission to merge to the 9.1 release =
branch.
