Emacs looks in locale.alias before it uses the fallback info in
language-info-alist.

If this is what locale.alias says, doesn't it mean that the system
wants us to use Latin-3 by default for this locale? IOW, why does
nl_langinfo return a value that is different from what this file says?
Is that because locale.alias comes from X11, not from glibc?
In any case, unless we change the code in mule-cmds.el, as long as
locale.alias says the above, what we say in language-info-alist about
this locale doesn't matter. At least that's my reading of the code in
mule-cmds.el.
