Please set ret to -ENOMEM; and...

When we have else clauses, I think its better to use

#ifdef LOCALE_SUPPORT
	struct lconv *lc = localeconv();
	if (lc != NULL) {
		thousands_sep = lc->thousands_sep;
		grouping = lc->grouping;
	}
#else
	thousands_sep = ",";
	grouping = "\x3";
#endif

Humm, so we bail out unconditionally? :-)

	this should be:

		if (*gnumber == NULL)
			goto out;

remove the above

	ditto

Why the "fall through" comment? This is a common construct and this
comment mostly applies where one would expect a break in a switch
statement :-)

Ah, here you do:

	ret = 0;

Since all went well.
