Thanks, Julien, with this new patch, the website builds. But I noticed other problems now:

1. It does not run (haunt serve fails).
2. Running it with "python3 -m http.server" instead, I see many characters replaced by "?" marks.

I'm using the commands from the website's README, but omitting "-E GUIX_LOCPATH" and changing "lib/locale" to "lib/locales" because the former does not exist.

So this is the command I ran to build:

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
$ LANG=C GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL --share=/tmp -- haunt build
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★


And this one for serving:

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
$ guix environment -CN -m manifest.scm -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales --share=/tmp -- haunt serve
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Backtrace:

In unknown file:
           0 (setlocale 6 "")

ERROR: In procedure setlocale:

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Am I doing something wrong?
