Maybe it=E2=80=99s not necessary: we can set =E2=80=98LANGUAGE=E2=80=99 to =
a language that does
not necessarily have a corresponding locale, like =E2=80=9Ceo=E2=80=9D.

That was in QEMU without networking:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm guixsd-graphical-installer-x86-64-linux -m=
 512

=E2=80=9Cip -o link=E2=80=9D shows lo and ens3, both down.

BTW (guix build syscalls) has procedures to deal with network interfaces
that might be useful here.

Thanks!
