I think the results of this patch can be achieved much more simply.
Just compare lm pointers (rather than string contents) for equality at
each iteration in the current loop, counting how many were equal to
libc.global_locale.cat[0]. If that number equals LC_ALL, return
libc.global_locale.cat[0]->name (or "C" if the lm is null) rather than
buf.
