Maybe it???s not necessary: we can set ???LANGUAGE??? to a language that
does
not necessarily have a corresponding locale, like ???eo???.

That was in QEMU without networking:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm guixsd-graphical-installer-x86-64-linux
-m 512
???ip -o link??? shows lo and ens3, both down.
That should have worked. It'd be great if you could get a stack trace.
BTW (guix build syscalls) has procedures to deal with network interfaces
that might be useful here.
Thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can do the necesary things in terms of those.
