Well, libstdc++ 3.1/2 certainly uses them for at least 8 months now,

Right, this is a binary compatibility issues. Jakub's patch is correct. libstdc++ is a legitimate user of the _l functions for some time.

Anyway, if you think it is possible to reorder the struct (and
thus force recompilation of all C++ 3.2 programs - __ctype_* fields
are accessed from /usr/include/c++/3.*/ headers, so it isn't just
libstdc++ recompilation which is necessary), __ctype_ fields
should be certainly at the beginning so that __LC_LAST can grow.
I don't expect any growth. Let's stick with the patch.
