I think we’ll need these two patches eventually; for now, commit
95ea1277ae2ebd278bdb51a7887f5ba1116fbc64 fixes the default
‘glibc-utf8-locales’ package, the one that’s added implicitly by all
build systems, which unlocks basic builds.

Now waiting for <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/hurd-packages> to pick
it up!
