POSIX-future, so no change.

Not sure what you mean here. If the whole header is XSI there's no
obligation to check FTMs; a conforming non-XSI program doesn't include
it.

Leaving it alone for now since it's in a reserved namespace, but we
can revisit this desired.

Do you have in mind a scenario where this would be useful, i.e. where
you might need locale_t to be defined but not have included another
header that defines it?

We discussed making this definition depend on __GNUC__ and then it
could use __builtin_alloca and GCC extensions needed to make strndupa
work. There might be an old patch floating around to do something like
that.
