Subject: [bug#67824] [PATCH core-updates v2 2/9] build-system/gnu: Change default locale to C.UTF-8.

From: Ludovic Courtès <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2023 17:30:13 +0100

This is a followup to 1cebc334a77030c0c94955981652f4df7608c9e3.

* guix/build-system/gnu.scm (gnu-build, gnu-cross-build): #:locale now
defaults to "C.UTF-8".
* guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm (install-locale): Likewise.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (util-linux)[arguments]: In ‘pre-check’ phase,
remove ‘invalid-multibyte’ modification so the test runs under C.UTF-8.
