A number of utilities, including bison, m4 and findutils, install a
charset.alias file under Mac OS X, and this breaks the locale system
(any locale is regarded as UTF-8) [*]. The problem has been around
for a couple of years.
Moreover, even if it didn't break anything, the file is overwritten
when another such software is installed.
