This command fails with guix 6a1464b:

guix pack -RR --target=aarch64-linux-gnu -S /bin=bin btrfs-progs
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-locales' package and defining
`GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

    guix install glibc-locales
    export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

Specifically, ‘-R’ (relocatable packs) does not support
cross-compilation (see guix/scripts/pack.scm if you’re curious).

If that’s an option for you, you can omit ‘-RR’ from the command line.

Anyhow, we take note that someone hit this limitation and that we now
have to do something about it.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
