Not really. It's rather about abusive owner of the dog, using '-c' to
force the dog to create the locale even when there are warings:

# localedef -i cs_CZ -f WIN-1250 cs_CZ.WIN-1250
character map file `WIN-1250' not found: No such file or directory
no output file produced because warnings were issued

In my defense, I've been using verbose mode, and that produces a lot of
warnings like 'non-symbolic character value should not be used' (which
gets ignored in non-verbose mode) and thus missed the one important one.
