- uclibc without BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LOCALE: no warning, no locale command ([1])
- uclicc with BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LOCALE: no warning, locale command installed on target
- musl: 'locale: not found' warning, no locale commmand

But it is 'only' a warning... and easy to fix for gcc/buildroot toolchain...

Do not know...., but it is only a warning...

[1] The usage of the locale command depends on 'HAVE_LOCALE_T' which depends
on the availability of the locale_t type (see postgresql-12.4/config/c-library.m4
and postgresql-12.4/src/backend/commands/collationcmds.c)
