I use http://penma.de/code/gettext-stub/ which doesn't fix the problem,
but does avoid it for my use cases. An actual desktop should be
internationalizable, though.

Many moons ago I started a thread on here (or was it on freenode?)
asking about lightweight alternatives to stuff and the need for a wiki
page tracking them.
I believe that at the time, the musl wiki was insufficiently
combobulated, but it has since been fixed. The
http://busybox.net/tinyutils.html page is old is stale and never really
had good coverage, http://elinux.org/System_Size is sort of adjacent to
the topic. If we do come up with anything, can we put it on a wiki page?
