AFAIK neither the locale data files' nor the locale-archive's format has
ever been specified or properly documented anywhere, and it's always been
considered a private part of the implementation with no intent to support
any direction of compatibility (beyond magic number checking to make
incompatible code/data fail early rather than bizarrely).
