The idea of build-time locale generation is documented in glibc-package.inc:
Binary locales are generated at build time if ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION
is set. The idea is to avoid running localedef on the target (at first boot)
to decrease initial boot time and avoid localedef being killed by the OOM
killer which used to effectively break i18n on machines with < 128MB RAM.
However it doesn't make sense to do same thing for glibc-nativesdk, as the
build system is powerful. More importantly is that ideally host_arch running
sdk may even be out of the support list of target_arch by qemu-native.
Regarding to above rationale, this commit disables build time locale
generation to avoid following error when asking qemu to run localdef:
NOTE: /opt/poky/sysroots/i586-pokysdk-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2: No such file or directory
nativesdk binaris have opt path hardcoded to avoid mess with host bits, which
is another reason that build time locale generation is not feasible here.
This fixes [BUGID #264]
also add 'nativesdk' to eglibc per RP's suggestion

Other enhancements:
print qemu's stdio & error on failure
glibc: enable locale generation for all arches
eglibc: enable binary locale generation for mips
And cleanup of code based on the code review.
[e]glibc: move common definition in the common file
bitbake was complaining about duplicate definition of
get_libc_fpu_setting in eglibc.inc & glibc.inc
files.
