Hi,
AFAICS PREDEFINED_CLASSES is never defined thus the code is unused. It would seem that the code is related to LO_LTYPE which was discussed in the past but there are no any recent references:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9638399/loltype.htm
Patch below, compiles and passes make check.
2015-05-12 Marko Myllynen <myllynen@redhat.com>
* locale/C-ctype.c (PREDEFINED_CLASSES): Remove.
* locale/programs/ld-ctype.c: Likewise.
If a locale alias is defined in locale.alias but not in an archive,
and the referenced locale is only present in the archive, setlocale
will fail if given the alias name. This is unintuitive. This patch
fixes it, arranging for the locale archive to be searched again after
alias expansion.

[BZ #15969]
* locale/findlocale.c (_nl_find_locale): Retry archive search
after alias expansion.
The current scheme to identify which module a translation unit is
built in depends on defining multiple macros IS_IN_* and also defining
NOT_IN_libc if we're building a non-libc module. In addition, there
is an IN_LIB macro that does effectively the same thing, but for
different modules (notably the systemtap probes). This macro scheme
unifies both ideas to use just one macro IN_MODULE and assign it a
value depending on the module it is being built into. If the module
is not defined, it defaults to MODULE_libc.
Patches that follow will replace uses of IS_IN_* variables with the
IS_IN() macro. libc-symbols.h has been converted already to give an
example of how such a transition will look.
Verified that there are no relevant binary changes. One source change
that will crop up repeatedly is that of nscd_stat, since it uses the
build timestamp as a constant in its logic.
* Makeconfig (in-module): Get value of libof set for the
translation unit.
(CPPFLAGS): Use $(in-module).
* Makerules: Don't suffix routine names for nonlib.
* include/libc-modules.h: New file.
* include/libc-symbols.h: Include libc-modules.h
(IS_IN): New macro to replace IS_IN_* macros.

Locale code, brought in by ISO C functions, calls memmem, which is not
an ISO C function. This isn't an ISO C conformance bug, because all
mem* names are reserved, but glibc practice is not to rely on that
reservation (thus, memmem is only declared in string.h if __USE_GNU
even though ISO C would allow it to be declared unconditionally, for
example). This patch changes that code to use __memmem.
Note: there are uses of memmem elsewhere in glibc that I didn't
change, although it may turn out some of those also need to use
__memmem.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that disassembly of installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch).
[BZ #17585]
* string/memmem.c [!_LIBC] (__memmem): Define to memmem.
(memmem): Rename to __memmem and define as weak alias of
__memmem. Use libc_hidden_weak.
(__memmem): Use libc_hidden_def.
* include/string.h (__memmem): Declare. Use libc_hidden_proto.
* locale/findlocale.c (valid_locale_name): Use __memmem instead of
memmem.
For static linking the locale code avoids linking code and data for
unused categories. However for nl_langinfo we know only at runtime which
categories are used, so direct reference to every nl_current_CATEGORY
symbol should be done.
This was broken by commit bc3e1c1273 where
nl_langinfo_l and nl_langinfo have been merged and some code has been
lost in the process.
In order to detect locales issues with static linking, compile a version
of tst-langinfo with static linking.
Note: this is Debian bug#747103 reported by Raphael <raphael.astier@eliot-sa.com>
In 7447ccd98e, the XDR currency was
removed from locale/iso-4217.def, despite the fact that it's both
still a part of the standard, according to the official table:
http://www.currency-iso.org/dam/downloads/table_a1.xml
... and, more importantly, is referenced from localedata/i18n, so
any quick-and-dirty locale definition that uses "copy i18n" for
LC_MONETARY wouldn't work anymore.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

In case of power failure followed by filesystem issues locale-archive
can end-up containing all zeros. In that case all calls to setlocale()
generate a SIGFPE. This renders a system with a default non-C locale
unbootable.
Avoid this by ignoring the locale instead of generating a SIGFPE.
The localedef --list-archive option claims that it can
accept a [file] argument and list the contents of that
archive. The support was never implemented. This patch
adds that support and allows --list-archive to work as
expected. You can now use localedef to list the contents
of arbitrary locale archives by using:
./localedef --list-archive file
