Hi Efraim,
I've been taking a look into your patch. One issue are the comments
about utf8 and UTF-8, as the issue is already explained in
make-glibc[-utf8]-locales.
Other point is:
Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> writes:

I would have used list there like (list ,@locales) or '(,@locales), this
looks a bit odd to my eyes at least. I'd expect this kind of calling code:
(let ((locales '("de_CH.utf8" ... "de_DE.utf8"))
(my-glibc ...))
(make-glibc-locales-collection myglibc locales))
Enforcing an extra quotation for no real reason on the calling site, as
strings are self-evaluating objects, and the use of the symbol list,
whose meaning depends on other context of execution, doesn't seem
necessary. Even worse, my example would raise an error as "de_CH.utf8"
is not a procedure.
What do you think about replacing make-glibc-utf8-locales with a call of
the new function (using that code) ensuring that the generated
derivation stays the same for that case (i.e. it's optimized for the
UTF-8 case)?
Happy hacking!
Miguel
