The portable way to do this is just calling uselocale() rather than
passing the locale_t to individual *_l functions. You can even
implement a fallback strtoll_l as:

localt_t old = uselocale(l);
result = strtoll(a,b,c);
uselocale(old);

It's slightly more efficient if you keep the uselocale across multiple
calls, but not that big a deal; uselocale is an extremely light
operation.

But is there a reason you don't just want plain strtoll? C allows that
"additional locale-specific subject sequence forms may be accepted" in
locales other than the C locale, but does not permit standard
sequences to be interpreted differently, and in practice I'm not aware
of implementations that do anything funny here.
