     6<para>The Glibc build system is very well self-contained and will install
     7perfectly, even though our compiler specs file and linker scripts are still
     8pointing at <filename>/stage1</filename>. We cannot adjust the specs and
     9ldscripts before the Glibc install, because the Glibc autoconf tests would then
     10give bogus results and thus defeat our goal of achieving a clean build.</para>

     38<listitem><para><userinput>--with-headers=/usr/include</userinput>: This
     39ensures that the kernel headers in <filename>/usr/include</filename> are used
     40for this build. If you don't pass this switch then the headers from
     41<filename>/stage1/include</filename> are used which of course is not ideal
     42(although they should be identical). Using the switch has the advantage
     43that you will be informed immediately should you have forgotten to install the
     44kernel headers into <filename>/usr/include</filename>.</para></listitem>

    37 <para>We'll continue with installing the package. The Linuxthreads man
    38 pages are not going to be installed at this point because it requires a
    39 working Perl installation. We'll install Perl later on in this chapter,
    40 and the man pages will be installed when Glibc is installed for the second
    41 time at the end of this chapter.</para>

    47 <para>The locales (used by Glibc to make your Linux system talk in a different
    48 language) weren't installed when you ran the previous command, so we have to
    49 do that ourselves now:</para>
     59<para>The locales that can make your system respond in a different language

    5263
    5364<para>An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those
    54 locales which you need or want. This can be achieved using the localedef
    55 command. Information on this can be found in the <filename>INSTALL</filename>
    56 file in the <filename>glibc-&glibc-version;</filename> tree.</para>
