mklocale was disabled precisely to *allow* the tree to build properly.
Enabling it without proper fixes will break the build on platforms that will
be otherwise completely usable as hosts shortly.

Making this a drastic change was deliberate, so that (hopefully, though my
mails to itojun have gone unanswered) those interested in the locale code
would fix it properly.

This thread is going in circles, and I have to focus on today's issues.  Go
ahead and implement it, but please leave the host build where it is in the
tree (e.g. don't make a src/tools version of it yet).  I'll look at
splitting the runetype.h file apart later.
