Glibc was not installed, but installing it pulls 3 packages:

	> guix build glibc
	/gnu/store/2kjscn5i1zjq2h3j0dcwfnzmc69lajz1-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c-debug
	/gnu/store/9j55362h2xgndjgy45f6283spjjx5990-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c
	/gnu/store/zpy7n3jjlgnq55lhzkdixf3dvk25vhlj-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c-static

Interestingly, `bin/locale` does not end up in the user PATH.
