and that the installation instructions say to install glibc-locale
(or
some other locale package) in root's profile.
They already say so under “Application Setup”, but maybe that
should be
made more prominent?
The section does not explicitly tell to install these locales also
for root.
Perhaps the daemon systemd configuration could be expanded to set a
specific locale for the Guix build-daemon (currently it uses the host
systems default locale settings), and a package for only that
specific locale could be included in the binary tarball, installed in
root's profile? I'm not really familiar with the build daemon or
locales, but I think that it doesn't matter so much which locale is
set for the build daemon, as long as it is properly configured? (This
is also related to your question about including glibc-utf8-locales
in the binary tarball in the parallel thread)
