The distfile tarball for misc/localedata port contains variety of
locale data for all architectures. This is because they are
incompatible each other at that time in spite of share/ hierarchy.

On FreeBSD 6 they can be shared between all archtectures as they
should be essentialy. This fix also introduced a side effect,
a requirement of old format locale data on disk to retain
compatibility.

I've made that port to be used not only by compat4x but compat5x.
I like your idea to build libc with modified _PATH_LOCALE.
