Found a solution thanks to Evgeny Stambulchik:

Due to an inconsistency bug in XORG (it had worked before upgrading the X11-XORG environment) there were two symlinks missing:

# cd /usr/X11R6/lib32/X11/locale/
# ln -s /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias .
# ln -s /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir .

Problem works for me.

Didn't work for me
open("/usr/X11R6/lib32/X11/locale/common/xlcDef.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Additonally to Bjoerns symlinking required
ln -s /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/ .
Sorry, was the only directory with a 32-bit xlcDef.so.2 on my machine
