Seems than dietlibc setlocale should work fine.
There is a line:
if (strstr(locale,".UTF-8") || strstr(locale,".UTF8")) lc_ctype=CT_UTF8;

If (locale==NULL) it must work also good!  See the code of strstr.c
The compiler makes a mistake with -Os and the function
setlocale works bad!

In my previous suggestion I changed setlocale to avoid problems
with flags -Os.  Here is one argument more:

vladov@picard:4 ~/fefe/dietlibc$ size bin-i386/setlocale.o 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    171       0       0     171      ab bin-i386/setlocale.o  (my code)

vladov@picard:4 ~/fefe/dietlibc$ size /opt/diet/lib-i386/libc.a | grep setlocale
    175       0       0     175      af setlocale.o (ex /opt/diet/lib-i386/libc.a)   (original dietlibc)


Resume:  The suggested function setlocale
works good also with (locale==NULL) and flag -Os
and is with 4 bytes shorter!
