I can’t reproduce it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix-build -S -e '(@ (distro packages base) glibc-final)'
the following derivations will be built:
    /nix/store/r132zr05rnbwl56xlzaqypsh85cd8cfv-glibc-2.17.tar.xz.drv
    /nix/store/lasdjqypfkcfqkf4ryvycz3b0x239c71-module-import.drv
    /nix/store/n0pdl6b6f8qykbh9mhdgjj56mb24d5k2-module-import-compiled.drv

[...]

starting download of 
`/nix/store/c09pc1yvdai4ylb5i7x242aj66dy3f07-glibc-2.17.tar.xz' from 
`http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/glibc/glibc-2.17.tar.xz'...
following redirection to 
`http://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.17.tar.xz'...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Most likely this is because nscd is not running, or not listening to the
right socket:

Can you check that?
