I'm trying to build the installer with
guix system image -t iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm
This fails:
build of
/gnu/store/64r5f7ikrjwzs9bslhfabv1p8r5gzk83-glibc-supported-locales.scm.drv
failed

Looking at gnu/system/locale.scm I can see that the PATH does not
include zstd but only xz.
Adding
#+(file-append zstd "/bin") ":"
to the PATH definition in glibc-supported-locales fixed this for me.
