Description
man luit: .......... FILES /usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir The system-wide encodings directory. /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias The file mapping locales to locale encodings. ........... following the present blfs book, there's none of these FILES available for luit, and when set LANG=zh_CN, xterm will complain: "Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale zh_CN; using ISO 8859-1". after the link being added, no complain.

Fixed in r7128 with the --with-localealiasfile switch to make it real explicit.

Just to note, this is fixed upstream, so if luit ever gets a new release, this can be removed.

Yeah, this looks like it's been broken for a long time. Instead of adding the symlink, try rebuilding luit with the option --libdir=$XORG_PREFIX/share. There's also an option --with-localealiasfile, but the problem here is just that libX11 puts all the locale stuff in $datadir and not $libdir. I'll see if I can get that fixed.
