commit 97476447edff96e526daa1a22d6ed3665181ff93

    Install charmaps uncompressed in testroot
    
    The testroot does not have a gunzip command, so the charmap files
    should not be installed gzipped else they cannot be used (and thus
    tested).  With this patch, installing with INSTALL_UNCOMPRESSED=yes
    installs uncompressed charmaps instead.
    
    Note that we must purge the $(symbolic_link_list) as it contains
    references to $(DESTDIR), which we change during the testroot
    installation.
