patch to fix --localedir configure argument

For some time, glibc has supported defining the install location of locale data
files by providing the --localedir=foo argument to configure. Currently, the
argument is ignored and locale data is always stored and searched for in
/usr/lib(64)/locale.

Previously, there was a check in sysdeps/gnu/configure.in (and the generated
file sysdeps/gnu/configure) which tested the $libdir variable in a 64-bit
build, and set $libc_cv_localedir only for that case.

$libc_cv_localedir should be set in all cases, otherwise the --localedir arg is
ignored, and locale data files always end up in /usr/lib(64)/locale

A patch is attached which fixes this in the tip of the upstream repository.
