Can you check at the beginning of the build log whether you have a
message like:

  using 'en_US' locale for category LC_ALL

or:

  failed to install 'en_US' locale

which comes from =E2=80=98install-locale=E2=80=99 in (guix build gnu-build-=
system)?

What does this show:

  guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement)
  glibc-utf8-locales-final)'

?
