This is an alternative resolution of the problem identified in #259964 which stated that "glibc depends on buildPackages.glibc for locale things. buildPackages.glibc depended on buildPackages.libgcc, which, since it's GCC, depends on the target's bintools, which depend on the target's glibc, which, again, depends on buildPackages.glibc, causing an infinute recursion when evaluating buildPackages.glibc when glibc hasn't come from stdenv (e.g. on musl)." The fact that we use pkgsBuildHost.glibc instead of pkgsBuildBuild.glibc to generate the locales has always been a gross hack. If we simply remove the gross hack the circularity goes away.
