        _nl_default_default_domain__ = "messages" 
        _nl_current_default_domain__ = NULL    according to ddd.

However, I have compiled the same app (dpkg) under the same os and
architecture, except that it is now in 32 bit.

Now it works, and ddd tells:

        _nl_default_default_domain__ = "messages" 
        _nl_current_default_domain__ = "messages" 

/* The internal variables in the standalone libintl.a must have different
   names than the internal variables in GNU libc, otherwise programs
   using libintl.a cannot be linked statically.  */
#if !defined _LIBC

// Note: I have tested this code is executed

        # define _nl_default_default_domain _nl_default_default_domain__
    # define _nl_current_default_domain _nl_current_default_domain__
#endif

I did not find any references to _nl_current_default_domain when doing a "man
libc" under solaris.

        Thank you for your enlightenment.
