Well, here more accurate results.

I build/install special crt0.o version which not calls reduced_setlocale()
bloat.
Then I rebuild bin/sbin. Then I use following csh script to find ones
which not use ctype at all:

foreach i (*)
nm $i/obj/$i | grep -l -q Locale || echo $i >> /tmp/result
end

running it on bin:
100% use ctype!!!

running it on sbin:
100% use ctype!!!

So my suspection was right.
