This means that you will need to have glibc-locales for all three
versions.  GUIX_LOCPATH is set to “lib/locales”, which contains
versioned sub-directories.  If the directory only contains locales for
2.25, then your applications that are linked with 2.22 or 2.23 can’t
possibly be able to find the proper locale data.
