Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the patch. While this new glibc 2.43 generally
works fine (I tested many configs), I've found an issue.
See below.

Removing this patch is reintroducing the issue described in it.
There is still configurations in which host-localedef is
failing to build. For example, in the Buildroot Debian
reference image. You can reproduce the issue with:

utils/docker-run make host-localedef

Note that, for example, host-localedef is building correctly
on my Fedora 43 host (gcc 15, glibc 2.42).

I quickly tried to put the patch back, but it does not
solve the issue.

Could you have a look, please?
