If a directory contains tests using locales, my understanding is that its
Depend file should mention localedata to ensure that localedata comes
first in sysd-sorted. If you're doing "make <subdir>/tests", then indeed
you need to do "make localedata/tests" first (it would probably be good to
have an explicit dependency of all tests on these locale files to avoid
needing to depend on directory ordering like that).
