I was going by https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/newlocale.3.html

       For  each category specified in category_mask, the locale data from lo‐
       cale will be used in the object returned by newlocale().  If a new  lo‐
       cale  object is being created, data for all categories not specified in
       category_mask is taken from the default ("POSIX") locale.

It's entirely possible bionic and glibc are doing different things here. I
wonder what musl is doing? (Alas, got my eyes dilated for an eye exam today, so
not digging through code to try to find out just now...)
