It is not done if you're using LC_MESSAGES=POSIX,
but it is performed if your locale is set to anything else:
$ LC_ALL=POSIX strace -e open /bin/cat /dev/null 2>&1 | grep locale
[Exit 1]
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR strace -e open /bin/cat /dev/null 2>&1 | grep locale
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
That set-up is performed (via setlocale) for internationalized diagnostics.
