>Description:
src/share/mklocale is badly named. Those are locale files,
they should be in src/share/locale.
In general, directories in 'src/share' aren't named for the program
that's used on them, but rather for their contents.
For instance, src/share/zoneinfo is named that way, rather
than src/share/zic. src/share/tmac rather than src/share/roff...
(i could go on.)
The fact that these files are installed into /usr/share/locale
reinforces the point.
>How-To-Repeat:
look in src/share. note the existence of 'mklocale'.
>Fix:
rename src/share/mklocale to src/share/locale.
