Is this documented somewhere, in particular the variety of reasons?   As
I mentioned in my original mail this warning appeared for the first time
after upgrading to  "sys-apps/locale-gen-3.10" and "sys-libs/glibc-2.42-
r5".

No.  Up to now I didn't see any need for enabling it:

   $ grep -v '^#' /etc/locale.gen

   de_DE            # German (Germany)
   en_GB            # British English (United Kingdom)

   $ env | grep '^LANG|^LC_'
   LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
   LC_COLLATE=C
   $

Sincerely,
