/*
  This function builds just the `lib/locale/locale-archive' file from
  Glibc and nothing else.  If `allLocales' is true, all supported
  locales are included; otherwise, just the locales listed in
  `locales'.  See localedata/SUPPORTED in the Glibc source tree for
  the list of all supported locales:
  https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED
