It's not a conformance issue. There is nothing that can be done for
LC_ALL=/some/path. The standard only requires that if the envvar points to a
file it is used. With LC_ALL there is no single file and pointing to a
directory does not fulfill the requirements of the standard. And I have no
interest whatsoever to add a bogus extension which would allow doing this.
Nobody should ever use this. The specification for localedef doesn't describe
the format of the output files and therefore this whole portion of the spec is
utterly bogus useless crap.
