Package: locales
Version: 2.0.3-4

I've been trying to compile the debian packages from sources
    glibc_2.0.3.orig.tar.gz, glibc_2.0.3-4.diff.gz
and encountered several errors while building binary-locales:

>> 
>> bash debian/do_locales
>> Computing table size for collation information might take a while... done
>> Computing table size for collation information might take a while... done
>> debian/do_locales: line 1:  5462 Floating point exception(core dumped) debian/hold/lib/ld-linux.so.2 debian/hold/usr/bin/localedef -c -i debian/hold/usr/share/i18n/locales/$1 -f debian/hold/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/$2 debian/tmp/usr/share/locale/$1
>> 

I was able to debug the process (but only after building a statically linked executable with `ld builddir/csu/{crt1,crti}.o builddir/locale/{localedef,charmap,xmalloc,charset,simple-hash,linereader,stringtrans,xstrdup,locfile,ld-ctype,ld-collate,ld-monetary,ld-numeric,ld-time,ld-messages}.o builddir/libc.a /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.2/libgcc.a builddir/csu/crtn.o'):

running ./a.out with 
args -c -i debian/hold/usr/share/i18n/locales/de_AT -f debian/hold/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-1    	/tmp/de_AT

gives :
>> 
>> Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
>> 0x804bcd7 in lookup (htab=0x400030a4, key=0xbffffaac, keylen=4, hval=267624432)
>>     at programs/simple-hash.c:267
>> 

The source code line is:

>>   /* First hash function: simply take the modul but prevent zero.  */
>>   hash = 1 + hval % htab->size;
>> 
where htab->size has a value of 0.

I haven't been able to figure out the reason for this, but I suspect it is
related to the fact that the program searches for some
files in the wrong directory
