Well, you had it at one time, but it sure doesn't seem to be there now.
I poked around in the RHEL 6.6 release notes, and found this possibly
relevant tidbit:
mingw component, BZ#1063396
Following the deprecation of Matahari packages in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.3, at which time the mingw packages were noted
as deprecated, and the subsequent removal of Matahari packages
from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, the mingw packages are now
being removed from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6.
The mingw packages will no longer be shipped in future Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 minor releases, nor will they receive
security-related updates. Consequently, users are advised to
uninstall any earlier releases of the mingw packages from their
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 systems.
It seems plausible that a WIN-1250 locale would have been something
that would've been supplied by mingw rather than being part of either
glibc-common or any official locale package. I'm not sure how that
translates to it actively disappearing from your machine --- as the note
says, you're "advised to uninstall" mingw, but I don't think the 6.6
update would have removed it automatically. Still, the outlines of a
theory are starting to come into focus.
Immediate recommendation is to restart the buildfarm critters with the
missing locale removed from their configurations. If you can find the
locale again somewhere, by all means re-enable it, but better less testing
than no testing in the meantime.
