> No sign of a 'locales' directory here.  The GUIX_LOCPATH variable is/run/current-system/locale on my system.  It only contains the localesdefined in %default-locale-definitions.

In my case (using Guix System),

$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
/run/current-system/profile/lib/locale:/run/current-system/locale

Both of which exist. And there is also

$ ls ~/.guix-profile/lib/locales

The "~/.guix-profile/lib/locale" directory does not exist (why can that be?! I don't know...).

So for me, the build command always fails like this:

$ LANG=C GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL  --share=/tmp -- haunt build
guix environment: error: statfs: /home/yo/.guix-profile/lib/locale: No such file or directory

Building it with the command you provided, it fails for the same reason.

Building it changing "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" to "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales", it builds, but I see what seems to be character enconding issues in the output (some characters are replaced by a question mark). For instance:

copy 'static/base/img/Guix-package.png' ? 'static/base/img/Guix-package.png'

Then, running the serve command fails:

$ guix environment -CN -m manifest.scm -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales --share=/tmp -- haunt serve -w
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Backtrace:
           2 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/yzaxlqmiraznba4yf2cyqpyla9q?")
In haunt/ui.scm:
    131:2  1 (haunt-main _ "serve" "-w")
In unknown file:
           0 (setlocale 6 "")

ERROR: In procedure setlocale:
In procedure setlocale: Invalid argument

(I use "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales" there too, otherwise it fails saying "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" does not exist)

I don't get it... The only thing I recall doing related to locales is installing both "glibc-locales" and "gcc-toolchain" system-wide; the former to get all locales supported by glibc, and the latter to get the "locale" command.
