Unfortunately it can not be fixed with aliases. locale.alias in /usr/share/X11/locale
does not make any difference, It still fails. But more than that Debian (and Ubuntu) have
/etc/locale.alias which contains many equivalent writings of the locales.
For example, it does contains
en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8
EN_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
and similarly
it_IT.88591 it_IT.ISO8859-1
and many other.
but make World does not seem to care. It fails.
Moreover I do not think it is this the problem Because on Ubuntu14.04 in a system with CDE installed I get
[atsol@melissa ~]$ locale -a | grep en_US
en_US.utf8
[atsol@melissa ~]$ locale -a | grep it_IT
it_IT
it_IT.iso88591
[atsol@melissa ~]$
And on Debian testing I get the same:
root@convex:/etc# locale -a | grep en_US
en_US.utf8
root@convex:/etc# locale -a | grep it_IT
it_IT
it_IT.iso88591
root@convex:/etc#
So it does not seem to be a locale problem. Any ideas?

Indeed. I verify that this difference is present:
[atsol@convex ~]$ locale -a |grep -i iso8859
de_DE.iso88591
es_ES.iso88591
fr_FR.iso88591
it_IT.iso88591
[atsol@convex ~]$ locale -a |grep -i UTF
ar_EG.utf8
C.UTF-8
el_GR.utf8
en_US.utf8
[atsol@convex ~]$
It is strange that for C it gives C.UTF-8 but for the rest it gives ....utf8.
So is there a way to setup aliases or fix the CDE source?
This question is something for the operating system builders, not for CDE...
My Xorg on FreeBSD has a /usr/local/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias file where
I can set up the differences for the X server only.
On Linux Ubuntu (and probably Debian) that file is /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias
One would need to add the lines:
it_IT.ISO8859-1 it_IT.iso88591
it_IT.ISO8859-1: it_IT.iso88591
there to alias the italian locale to the name expected by CDE.
I don't know how to do this on PureOS or Arch.
My system has the locales needed built-in:
locale -a |grep it_ITit_IT.ISO8859-1
it_IT.ISO8859-15
it_IT.UTF-8
