Add --no-hard-links option to localedef (bug 23923)
Downstream distributions need consistent sets of hardlinks in
order for rpm to operate effectively. This means that even if
locales are built with a high level of parallelism that the
resulting files need to have consistent hardlink counts. The only
way to achieve this is with a post-install hardlink pass using a
program like 'hardlink' (shipped in Fedora).
If the downstream distro wants to post-process the hardlinks then
the time spent in localedef looking up sibling directories and
processing hardlinks is wasted effort.
To optimize the build and install pass we add a --no-hard-links
option to localedef to avoid doing the hardlink optimziation for
size.
Tested on x86_64 with 'make localedata/install-locale-files'
before and after. Without the patch we have files with 100+
hardlink counts. After the patch and running with --no-hard-links
all link counts are 1. This patch also alters the convenience
target 'make localedata/install-locale-files' to use the new
option.
