*** Bug 2372 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I updated to glibc 2.4. The locale data is updated and now Monday is the
first_weekday for the C locale, en_US and en_US.UTF-8. For the US this should
still be Sunday with first_workday as Monday.

No, there is no such change in the C locale in glibc 2.4.

Sorry, I mistook an empty locale for the C locale. You're quite right. So this
problem remains unchanged.

With glibc 2.5, the problem seems to be fixed:

OK. I will reproduce some (I think) useful messages:

I'm on glibc 2.5 and I still have first_weekday=7 for LC_ALL="".  For
LC_ALL="en_US" I get the correct first_weekday=1.

I have LANG set to en_US.UTF-8. However:

The patch in the related bug "c-first-weekday.diff" should patch the problem
where first_weekday=7 in the POSIX locale. POSIX locale is the default for
LC_TIME when LC_ALL="".

I have no idea what people complain here.  They are absolutely incapable of
specifying a problem.  Just showing some program output is in no universe a
suitable way.

The current libc code shows a Sunday as the first day in the US locale and
Monday as the first day in the the Spanish locale.  The former is definitely
correct and the latter is what people requested in the past.
