I did the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix environment guix ./bootstrap ./configure --localstatedir="/var" ./pre-inst-env guile --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And inside Guile REPL: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ,use (guix build syscalls) (utmpx-entries) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And I get what is attached in "utmp-1.txt". The same result is observed when I append `--ad-hoc guile' to `guix environment guix' (I attempted a `diff' between the results of two sequence of commands and it didn't report anything).
