Why not do the same in Gen_fmgrtab.sh?  A quick LANG=C seems less
invasive than this.

Well, the line of code is

cpp_define=`echo $OIDSFILE | tr abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ | sed -e 's/[^A-Z]/_/g'`

so it ought to be pretty obvious what the correct solution for the
problem "character ranges are locale-dependent" is.

Doh.  Patched that way.

Curiously, I couldn't replicate the failure on Fedora 5 --- Marko's
platform must have different locale behavior for et_EE.

Did you add it to locale-gen config and ran it?

Btw, I removed all the pipeline in my patch, because I felt
such messy pipeline for such a tiny thing is ugly.  Especially
as the filename wont change that much.  Thus I though it would
be cleaner to just put the symbol together with filename definition.
