[bug#67507] [PATCH v2 0/2] Using the right locales on GNU/Hurd

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

This is an updated version of Janneke's patches
in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66472> combined with
Christopher's patch from <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67507>.
Team work!

This should fix the infamous dependency cycle introduced
in 95ea1277ae2ebd278bdb51a7887f5ba1116fbc64 *and* ensure
the right version of glibc locale data is used throughout.

One thing that sucks is that, anytime we were doing:

  #~(… #+glibc-utf8-locales …)

we now have to do:

  #~(… #+(libc-locales-for-target (%current-system)) …)

to explicitly request the native libc locales.

I verified things like this:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build coreutils --target=i586-pc-gnu
  ./pre-inst-env guix build findutils -s i586-gnu --no-grafts
  make check-system TESTS=childhurd

and also, after adding #:system "i586-gnu" to the ‘build’
call in ‘build-aux/compile-as-derivation.scm’ as Chris
suggested on IRC:

  make as-derivation

I didn’t let it run to completion because that triggers a
lot of expensive builds, but it no longer eats all the
memory doing nothing as was the case since
95ea1277ae2ebd278bdb51a7887f5ba1116fbc64.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

  gnu: Add ‘libc-locales-for-target’ and related.
  gnu: Use ‘libc-utf8-locales-for-target’.
