locale/ tests only depend on the C / POSIX locale (built-in, so not
needing any of the data generated with localedef).

The relevant files in localedata/ in the objdir aren't generated by
building glibc (which should avoid needing to run anything on the host for
which glibc is built), they're generated by "make localedata/tests". But
I think there should be a separate makefile rule somewhere for generating
those locales, that all tests can then depend on (rather than only tests
in localedata/ having such a dependency, and others relying on directory
ordering).
