I’m afraid no.  Months ago a solution was proposed on the Guile side but
not implemented.

I tried the attached workaround, which attempts to use are UTF-8-only
syscalls wrappers for the task.  Unfortunately it doesn’t work because
the cleanup code runs on the initrd’s statically-linked Guile, where
‘dynamic-link’ calls used in (guix build syscalls) fail.  :-/

Ideas?
