The files exist, that's not the problem. But there are errors in them.
So do_locale is working as it should :)
The only problem with it is that the errors don't get reported, so the
user doesn't know why the script is failing. It should probably
use the --quiet option rather than sending everything to /dev/null.
(I found this option in the sources, and it's not documented anywhere,
so it's not surprising that the libc5 maintainer didn't use it).
