You're right, this is indeed fixed by your patch.
I tried your patch first a few days ago but I my test setup was flawed so I
was still testing against the unpatched version of Debian's glibc package.
I now managed to test the patched version and this one does indeed work
Unpatched:
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8...localedef: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c:366: __spawnix: Assertion `ec >= 0' failed.
qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped
Aborted
done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8

The fix is already in the packaging source of Debian's glibc [1] after
I reported the bug. But the updated package has not been uploaded
to the FTP servers yet. I'll ask Debian's glibc maintainers to push
it.
