When we used the latest gnulib bootstrap with GNU tar,
it turns out that we lost some functionality that was in the GNU
tar bootstrap. Sergey caught this just before GNU tar 1.24

I wouldn't bother, as it would lead to O(N**2) behavior,
which could well be worse than the problem that it'd cure.
I noticed large realloc()s still being done by fread_file() for the
common case of a regular file. As well as being inefficient,
it could needlessly fail for large files.

a minimally POSIX compliant setlocale() function ought to return NULL when
asked to set such a locale.
But the system doesn’t even know about charsets.
But it can be as simple as
set = strchr (locale, ".");
