For those interested in an workaround, for a CentOS 5.5 box (use at your own risk):

1. Copy the base locale definition file

cp /usr/share/i18n/locales/pt_BR pt_BR\@abnt\.src

2. Edit <email address hidden> and add

reorder-after <U00A0>
<U0020><CAP>;<CAP>;<CAP>;<U0020>
reorder-end

before END LC_COLLATE

3. Create new directories

mkdir /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR\@abnt
mkdir /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR\.utf8\@abnt

4. Compile the new locales

localedef --verbose -c -i pt_BR\@abnt.src -f ISO-8859-1 /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR\@abnt
localedef --verbose -c -i pt_BR\@abnt.src -f UTF-8 /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR\.utf8\@abnt

5. Check the new locales

locale -a | grep pt_BR

I don't know if this is the best way, but it is one way.

Maybe the directories can be different in other Linux distributions.

I think that will be better to create a new <email address hidden> with a "copy
statement" for each section inside it than to copy the whole source from
/usr/share/i18n/locales/pt_BR
