localedef has never been particularly parsimonious in its use of memory,
but historically that was of the form "if you're testing on a board with
e.g. only 32 MB of memory, you might need to cross-build the locales". It
shouldn't need several GB; I'd say if it's even using 256 MB it should be
made smarter.
