Good point, and even for SIZE_WIDTH >= 32, it might be faster to use
your __floating_from_chars_hex function than to change locale twice
and allocate memory and call strto{f,d,ld}. It certainly avoids the
non-standard errc::out_of_memory result.

So maybe something like the attached semi-tested patch.

    libstdc++: Prefer our own __floating_from_chars_hex if supported
    
    This adjust the floating-point overloads of std::from_chars so that they
    prefer to use __floating_from_chars_hex if possible, instead of using
    strtof/strtod/strtold. This avoids changing the per-thread C locale and
    allocating memory for a null-terminated string when we can use the
    hex-specific function instead.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * src/c++17/floating_from_chars.cc (from_chars): Always use
            __floating_from_chars_hex for hex format if possible.
