The correct solution to this problem would be to add a little build
cycle: build a bootstrap version of pdflatex (and the other formats) so
that we can build babel; then rebuild pdflatex (and all the other
formats, and everything that goes into texlive-latex-base) in an
environment where babel exists.

The resulting pdflatex.fmt would then likely be aware of babel and
behave like the file from the monolithic texlive package.
