That's one of my next subject of investigation :)

operating-system-locale-libcs defaults to %default-locale-libcs, so
keeping (canonical-package glibc) prevents cross-compilation :(

We could use a thunk field to write something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (default-locale-libcs ...)
  (if target glibc (canonical-package glibc))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I'd like to avoid that. I'll see if I can figure out something
better after a good night.

Thanks,

Mathieu
