Note the patches in PR#18151 by Anders Hjalmarsson solved this problem
for static-linked binaries way back in 2002 (by allowing a set number of
locales to be supported at compile time).
I've been keeping those patches up-to-date in my own tree since about
2008 (though I'm still back on ~8.99) and they work well!
Note this task is also mentioned in:
https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/static-locale/
But unfortunately there's no mention in that project item about PR#18151
and it's still listed as a 1-month task -- it's actually now only a few
hours work.
