There isn't a clear way to do this because localedef needs some level of
access to glibc internals (although it is fairly contained at the
moment).

Cross-building of locales is possible, they only depend on endianess.
Could you perhaps install a glibc build into a non-standard location?
Or not install it at all and use testrun.sh to run localedef?

Thanks,
Florian
