Yay, nice!
So here’s a patch to fix it, and another one to do a minor cleanup
operation.
I’ve confirmed that glibc 2.33 builds fine, as well as 2.31.
I haven’t checked cross-compilation yet.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gnu: glibc: Remove unneeded nscd patching.
This change had no effect already in glibc 2.29, which has proper
versioning.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[arguments]: Remove obsolete
'nscd/nscd_stat.c' 'substitute*' statement.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gnu: glibc: Look for the current timezone in
/etc/localtime.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50830>.
Reported by podiki on #guix.
Previously, glibc 2.33 would look for
/gnu/store/...-glibc-2.33/etc/localtime instead of /etc/localtime.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[arguments]: Remove #:make-flags.
[phases]: In 'pre-configure', modify 'inet/Makefile' instead of
'sunrpc/Makefile' since this is where these bits are in 2.33.
(glibc-2.31)[arguments]: Add 'set-etc-rpc-installation-directory'
phase.
(glibc-2.30): Inherit from GLIBC-2.31.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["libc honors /etc/localtime"]: New
test.
