You could check /proc/$(pidof guix-daemon)/environ for variables like
‘LC_ALL’.  And of course, you can see if ‘guix substitute’ emits the
infamous “can’t install locale” message.  :-)

Regardless, I think ‘guix substitute’ should ideally be
locale-insensitive, or it should error out rather than produce files
with the wrong names.
