You could use 'strace <program>' to see the open() syscalls. There you
can see which .mo files are being opened (or trying to be) whenever the
<program> is executed.

E.g. looking at gold, from binutils, which is mentioned in the bug:

strace man 2>&1 | grep open

Seems that it's not even trying to load any .mo files. Perhaps an
upstream bug?
