>From [1], it seems that C++ locales are supposed to affect the global
locale as well, so they should call setlocale() when appropriate.

Unfortunately, I assume libstdc++ uses their generic locale support on
musl...  From gcc-10.2.0/libstdc++-v3/config/locale/generic/c_locale.cc:

  void
  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale(__c_locale& __cloc, const char* __s,
				    __c_locale)
  {
    // Currently, the generic model only supports the "C" locale.
    // See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2003-02/msg00345.html
    __cloc =3D 0;
    if (strcmp(__s, "C"))
      __throw_runtime_error(__N("locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale "
			    "name not valid"));
  }
