xlocale.h is has been removed according to the glibc News file:

The nonstandard header has been removed. Most programs should use instead. If you have a specific need for the definition of locale_t with no other declarations, please contact libc-alpha@sourceware.org and explain.

Linux From Scratch isn't a supported platform at this time, so fixing this isn't a high priority.

Comment by Greg Morenz (JIRA)

Same error on arch linux.

Ubuntu 17.10 also ships with glibc 2.26 and does not include xlocale.h. While Ubuntu 17.10 also isn't supported (yet?), I suspect more people will start to run into this.
