Details

When you do a locales-enabled build the source of gaia gets patched. It seems to touch all gaia apps and it's mostly locales.ini and manifest.webapp files. There are all source controlled. It's generally bad form to change source during the build step. This taints the dev's workspace and complicates source versioning. Ideally any necessary changes would be a build product outputed somewhere in ./out or ./gaia/profile.
OS: Mac OS X → Gonk (Firefox OS)
Hardware: x86 → ARM
Note that you can clean up after a multilocale build with |make multilocale-clean|, which works well enough in practice (although I agree that ideally you wouldn't have to).
