   I also use linux-ELF-libc6 but I don't have a templeate for it. It
   appears the standard linux-ELF template worked and created libc6
   versions of the binaries. Why do you need a special template? If it's
   really needed we should include IMHO.

   with the current source tree, a special template for linux-libc6 is
   _not_ required, I stand corrected. In a previous version, without it,
   libcrypt had not been linked into the postmaster on my box, which
   caused some trouble. In addition, I felt that with the locale support
   included in GLIBC-2.x, the USE_LOCALE should be set to yes, but
   currently, this does not seem to matter too much ...

   The default for _all_ ports is to have USE_LOCALE turned off since there
   is a performance hit to use it. Any installation is welcome to turn it on
   but it should not be turned on by default.
