Yes, that’s a GuixSD-specific thing, but if you set GUIX_LOCPATH, then
$GUIX_LOCPATH should take precedence. The strace output you sent
suggests that GUIX_LOCPATH was unset, wasn’t it?
For example, I get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ GUIX_LOCPATH=/foo strace -e open true --help
[...]
open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[...]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH,
Ludo’.
