This may be related to musl, but I don't know how.
LC_NUMERIC seems to be declared in musl headers, for some reason with musl locale.h may not be inherited from any parent header. I think I should just include locale.h by default in main.c for a workaround.

Fix I guess would be to use glib counterpart for atof, but this is only from what I remember, anyway, I have to look for a proper way to convert string <-> float

Could you test some the patch to check it works with musl when I'll submit it here ?

P.S.: I will have to drop flags from the ebuild
    nls
    gtk2 (cf #769128)

Oups I think I erased my local copy of git repository with patch.

Whatever. I think this is not related to modern C.
