OK, that brings in a *lot* of dependencies.

This is simpler:

diff --git a/build-locale-archive.c b/build-locale-archive.c
index 474f666..23b7421 100644
--- a/build-locale-archive.c
+++ b/build-locale-archive.c
@@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ int verbose = 0;
 int max_locarchive_open_retry = 10;
 const char *output_prefix;
 
+/* True if the locale files use the opposite endianness to the
+   machine running localedef.  */
+bool swap_endianness_p;
+
 static const char *locnames[] =
   {
 #define DEFINE_CATEGORY(category, category_name, items, a) \
---

Our own copy of swap_endianness_p is all that's needed.

Testing again with a temporary set of locales.

Cheers,
Carlos.
