Hello,

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

Regards,
Skyler
