setlocale() and strcoll() (among other locale-related things) are both defined as part of the 1990 and 1999 versions of the ISO C standard, and I am not aware of them having been removed from the 2011 version. Therefore, every compliant hosted implementation of the C programming language is obliged to provide setlocale() and strcoll(), and by saying you don't want locales in your low-level libraries you are saying you don't want a compliant hosted implementation of the C programming language.
