There aren't any locale file that you need.
You have to recompile the uClibc adding the locale support doing:
- make menuconfig
   enable "Locale Support" into the "String and Stdio Support" menu.

If you need the iconv tool you have to build also utility doing:
- make utils

So you can have the locale utility "iconv" and "locale", the latter
Recently added to see the currently supported locale.

The tarbal you refering are the locale pregenereted file needed if 
We enable "Use pre-genereted Locale Data" also.
