 cross-compilation.

Hello Marius,

> Is the glibc locale data really architecture-independent?

I compared locale data built natively for intel and arm and they are
identical. However all those platforms have the same endianess. I don't
know what would happend on a big endian platform.

No because we need to use the localedef binary from the native glibc.

Ideally, we would need to pass some kind of --target to this binary but
it doesn't seem to be supported :(.
