I suspect newlib doesn't support that locale.  Here's what I read on

http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/sources.redhat.com/ftp/newlib/libc.html

This is a minimal implementation, supporting only the required "C" value 
for locale; strings representing other locales are not honored unless 
MB_CAPABLE is defined in which case three new extensions are allowed for 
LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES only: "C-JIS", "C-EUCJP", "C-SJIS", or 
"C-ISO-8859-1". ("" is also accepted; it represents the default locale for 
an implementation, here equivalent to "C".)
