The same problem has resurfaced on armhf on the current core-updates
branch.  More precisely, this is a merge of core-updates (16cae79),
master (1e44cf8), and openssl-update (0515580).

There's one difference: I can successfully run "guix build -K
glibc-utf8-locales", but if I try to build any profile, it fails while
building another package named "glibc-utf8-locales", with precisely the
same error message above.  Otherwise, I managed to build every package
in my profile, which includes some substantial software.

I'm surprised because I thought we already fixed this in two redundant
ways: by improving 'ld-wrapper' to avoid adding an '-rpath' for ld.so,
and by patching gcc.  I would have expected at least one of those fixes
to take care of this.

Should I open a new ticket for this, or should we reuse this ticket?
For now, I unarchived and reopened this bug.

     Thanks,
