Hello,

The test "terminal-string-width Japanese" in the file=20
"tests/syscalls.scm" has an environmental dependency which causes it to=20
fail when I run `guix shell --pure -D guix -- make check=20
TESTS=3Dtests/syscalls.scm`. I can resolve this by instead running `guix=20
shell --pure -D guix -- env LANG=3Den_US.utf-8 make check=20
TESTS=3Dtests/syscalls.scm`. I do not know enough about locales to know if=
=20
it makes sense for the test to set the environment variable, to make a=20
recommendation in the manual, or to do something else. For=20
bootstrapping, which requires some programs not included in the package=20
dependencies, the manual specifically states the additional packages=20
which are required (the problem here is not an additional package, but=20
seems similar).

Regards,
Skyler
