Maybe it was set for some incorrectly wrong month names or the developers
didn't know what translators may provide and wanted to avoid troubles. If
setting this to 6 fixes the problem then let's do it (let's ask coreutils
maintainers).

coreutils needs a minor update anyway because it uses not only strftime() from
glibc but some implementations from Gnulib which has been fixed already
upstream but coreutils does not yet use the latest version of Gnulib.

I can see that ls provides its own implementation of date format containing
"%b" and claims it is 17% faster than glibc. Now it does not support "%Ob"; if
you introduce it in Catalan translation then you will experience the
performance drop, also ls will not work if the same source code is run on older
glibc or even in BSD.

True, this is purely glibc extension, it does not exist anywhere else.
