[bug#67735] [PATCH] build: Use -c when building C.utf8 locale for glibc 2.35

[Tomas Volf]

C.utf8 locale for glibc 2.35 does not build without errors.  However, if the
build is forced using -c, the resulting locale file works just fine.  It is a
recommended[0] workaround by the upstream.  More info can be found here[1].
