The only possible explanation is that you don't have a complete set of
locale data installed and in particular you are missing the de_DE data,
thus the generic, instead of the GNU locale model is wrongly selected.

You should see also many unsupported tests in your make check, >> 11 (11
is the current number for the GNU locale model). By the way, 4.6.x deals
with these issues better: having de_DE installed at configure time isn't
required anymore (thus you would see no abi_check failure, the GNU
locale model correctly selected, but still many unsupported tests)
