I suspect this isn’t needed.

This is needed so that 'ls -l' can output a date format suitable for the current locale. These formats aren't part of glibc and so are not in glibc's LC_TIME information. The default formats for the C locale are "%b %e %Y" for older files and "%b %e %H:%M" for newer files, but the formats differ in other locales (e.g., Dutch uses "%e %b" instead of "%b %e").
