Hello Witold,
Sorry for the very long delay before this reply.

I was not able to reproduce. I built the following defconfig:
BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a8=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LINARO_ARM=y
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="fr_FR.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8"
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set
After the first build, the size of output/target/usr/lib/locale was:
$ du -sb output/target/usr/lib/locale/
1678944 output/target/usr/lib/locale/
Then I restarted "make" (without doing "make clean"), and looked at the
size again, and it was exactly the same.
Could you provide a defconfig + scenario that allows to reproduce the
issue, and indicate which version of Buildroot you're using ? We
recently updated localedef, perhaps the behavior changed ?
Thanks,
Thomas
