Hello!

=E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 is open again for updates to core packages (=
the implicit
inputs of =E2=80=98gnu-build-system=E2=80=99), their dependencies, or the (=
guix build =E2=80=A6)
modules.

Things I=E2=80=99d like to see in this branch include:

  =E2=80=A2 Removing locales from =E2=80=98glibc=E2=80=99, and instead prov=
ide a separate
    package to build them on-demand, and then using $LOCPATH.  This will
    save a lot of space.

  =E2=80=A2 Maybe try using GCC 4.9.2 as the default compiler.

Other ideas welcome.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
