I think you are missing the <desc> arguments for choice:

comment 'Choose your locale:'

=A0 =A0 CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_LANG=3D"POSIX Language_not_set \
`grep "/" $confdir/SUPPORTED | cut -d/ -f1`"

=A0 =A0 choice ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC_LANG POSIX $CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_LANG

The following should work (not tested this time):

    CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_LANG=3D`grep "/" package/base/glibc/<subdir>/SUPPORTE=
D | =

while read x ; do echo $x $x ; done`

    choice ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC_LANG POSIX \
	POSIX Language_not_set  $CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_LANG

Note there are some subtleties in bash quoting and passing arguments to =

functions, e.g. consider the following example:

# test_func () { for x ; do echo $x ; done ; }
# test_func arg1 'arg2 3'
arg1
arg2 3
# y=3D"arg1 'arg2 3' "
# test_func $y
arg1
'arg2
3'
# eval test_func $y
arg1
arg2 3
