What you are doing is unsupported and relying on internal implementation
details not to change.

Each new version of glibc is tied to the binary locale data that it produces
and the same problem applies to static applications which will need to fall
back on C/POSIX locales because they will be unable to load the newer
format of locale data.

Provide a minimal locale-archive with just the languages you support, and
that should only be ~3MiB per language.
