 True.  These libraries have to be built with vulnerability fixes.
 I took them from 5.4-RELEASE as you pointed out.  Building from
 the RELENG_5_4 source looks reasonable to me.

 I am wondering if misc/localedata can be used---were the LC_* files
 architecture dependent at that time?  I thought this incompatibility
 was needed to making them architecture independent.
 Do I misunderstand?
