Hi,

I had a lot of trouble building Guix recently (is it related with Guile
2.2?).  Or it did build but then 'guix' command produced things like:

;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /home/clement/.config/guix/latest/guix/ui.go failed:
;;; ERROR: In procedure make_objcode_from_file: bad header on object file: "\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01�\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"

I finally got it to work by using 'guix environment -C -N guix'.  Is it
the right way to build Guix?  If so, here is a patch that updates the
documentation.
