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 ‘install-locale’ in (guix build gnu-build-system)?

What does this show:

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

?
