Your /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 should contain the line
! $oldlayouts = az bs ca ca_enhanced de_CH fr_CH hu hu_qwerty lt_std mn vn
which tells XKB to load symbols/fr_CH and not symbols/pc/fr_CH.
If "setxkbmap fr_CH" reports no error, ie. is silent, this means that
this file is right, and thus we have to guess which program calls
xkbcomp with wrong parameters.
