Hi Ludo'.
Sorry I could not reply earlier.

Me too: do you think it's appropriate to report this upstream?
I can manage this if needed, of course.

Herm... I'm still too web dependent, I have to correctly install all
infos :-O

I'm still not skilled enough to think anything useful about that patches
:-)... exept they looks great AFAIU! Thank you for fixing that so
quickly!
Reading your refactored build-locale in (gnu build locale), as used
e.g. in (gnu system locale), makes me wonder if Guix could allow users to
define their preferred locales in a (operating-system ...) declaration,
having "guix system" building only the needed ones... but that's another
story
Thanks! Gio'.
