/* prevent the including /usr/include/sys/localedef31.h after locator.h */
#ifndef _H_LOCALEDEF
#define _H_LOCALEDEF
#endif /* _H_LOCALEDEF */
#endif /* _AIX */

So, the header is <sys/localedef31.h>. It is for backwards compatibility
with AIX 3.1 (and was when the loc_t name first conflicted back in about
1989; there was a 4-digit PTS bug number raised for the problem). The
locale_t type is different, mandated by POSIX, and more recent by far.

The protection in the <sys/localdef31.h> header is the _H_LOCALEDEF
define.

The problem started long before Informix was a vassal of IBM.
