Bug 17657 - function may return address of local variable
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17657

We should backport this to fix the bug and fix the compiler warnings, and static analysis warnings.

    Return allocated array instead of unallocated.
    
    In locale/programs/ld-ctype.c we returned array that was on stack.
    Fixed by returning static array instead.
