This means that the `en_GB.UTF-8' locale isn't available on your
system (info "(libc) Setting the Locale").

Normally `locale -a' lists the available locales.  However, I suspect it
to be broken on NixOS because it sees only `C' and `POSIX' whereas
setlocale(3) succeeds with many other locales.

Thanks,
