that's not how abi works.. you change the __c_locale typedef
of the generic config from int* to locale_t, such change
breaks abi and cannot be upstreamed to gcc. (it's unfortunate
that the c++ locale handling default for non-gnu systems
does not use posix locales correctly, but breaking abi
for all non-gnu systems is not an acceptable fix.)

with your change the abi of libstdc++ would look like
the current gnu abi:

$ grep __locale_struct libstdc++-v3/config/abi/post/x86_64-linux-gnu/baseline_symbols.txt |wc -l
72

the abi on a musl based system is like

$ nm -D /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 |grep __locale_struct |wc -l
0

so with your patch if a compiled binary refers to any one
of those 72 symbols then the dynamic linker will fail to
load it on a musl based system.
