My concern here is that using "find" makes the build non-deterministic,
since it now relies on whatever files happen to be in the build tree,
regardless of where they came from.  Using the internal variables
ensures that the list of locales is exactly the list we specified.

What if we remove an entry from that list?  An incremental build will
still pick up the old files.

What if a locale silently doesn't build?  We'd omit it without warning.
