Here is the locale data: LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y" d_fmt="%m/%d/%y" t_fmt="%H:%M:%S" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971130 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=7 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" week-1stday=19971130 which is a Sunday. first_weekday=7 which is Saturday, which is very wrong -- it should be 1 instead. This combo makes Saturday first day of the week. LC_ALL=en_US locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971201 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="ISO-8859-1" week-1stday=19971201 which is a Monday, so with first_weekday=1 Monday becomes the first day of the week in the calendar, which in the US is wrong. week-1stday should be the same as in LC_ALL="" above.

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.
