why /usr/lib64/locale ?  seems like you should use LOCALEDIR.

we do set up ARCHIVE_NAME which includes the full path ...

asprintf returns an int, not ssize_t ... although i see the rest of this

what's with the \0 ?  asprintf does that for you ...
i guess the rest of this file does this weirdness too.
