I didn't see any progress on this and thus digged a bit further, with
the following results:

- In ar_SD the international currency symbol is, in glibc, denoted as
  "SDP". I grep'ed through the unpacked glibc sources for this.

  locales/ar_SD:int_curr_symbol       "<U0053><U0044><U0050><U0020>"

  Which suggests that the author of this code wanted to say:
  "Sudan Pound"   (why?).

- In ISO 4217, the currency is defined to be "Sudan Dinars", which
  is "SDD", corresponding to:

  <U0053><U0044><U0044><U0020>


I don't feel well about building a fixed glibc package, but would like
to see this fix go in (if it does the job).

Thank you!


Best,
