I've seen this too when building minimal distro with
GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_US.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8 ru_RU.UTF-8"
but without appropriate IMAGE_LINGUAS.

Removing GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES and rebuilding eglibc fixes this.

Problem is coming from here:
classes/image.bbclass:IMAGE_LINGUAS ?= "de-de fr-fr en-gb"
