This is the list of architectures dietlibc exists on (taken from its
debian/control file, copied verbatim).

On architectures without dietlibc, mksh-static is statically linked
against glibc (in mksh-35.2-1 it was dynamically linked, since I forgot
to add -static which the “diet” helper does by itself).

>Is the build dependency on locales-all really needed, if so in what way?

Yes, one of the regression tests sets the locale to “en_US.UTF-8” and
checks if mksh (non-static) switches to Unicode mode automatically then.

Thanks for your attention ☺ I’m trying to get it as bug- and warning-free
as possible, and more peoples’ eyes are helping with that.
