:I think in this instance both you and Matt are wrong. mklocale is a
:bootstrap tool because it is run on the host to actually generate
:the locals. Patching parts away like Matt did doesn't work in this
:special case, because the tool behaves differently.

Well, another choice is to .PATH / SRCS include libc's locale sources
like we do to get getopt_long.c for gzip. That could be be pretty
nasty because the locale sources are all over the map.
Beyond that the only alternative I see is to greatly expand the
build-tools stage to also build libc 'natively', and possibly other
libraries, and then move mklocale from the bootstrap tools to the
cross-tools stage where it could then take advantage of the libraries
built by the build-tools stage.
The word 'nasty' comes to mind.
