I tried this, and got the same error, but then I deleted all the .go
files, re-ran make, and then tried again, and then it worked.

→ ./pre-inst-env guix system build gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl

I'm not quite sure what this means.... my understanding of Guile is a
bit vague.

Ooops, so I should've run `make clean' first.

its returning the system that you just asked it to build.


I'm closing the bug, should've run `make clean' first.

Yeah, this kind of error is typical of an ABI mismatch.  The reason is
that in Guile, record field accessors of SRFI-9 record types are
inlined:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(srfi srfi-9)
scheme@(guile-user)> (define-record-type <foo>
		       (make-foo x)
		       foo?
		       (x foo-x))
scheme@(guile-user)> ,expand (foo-x bar)
$2 = (let ((s bar))
  (if ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) eq?)
       ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) struct-vtable) s)
       <foo>)
    ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) struct-ref) s 0)
    (let ((s* s))
      ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) throw)
       'wrong-type-arg
       'foo-x
       "Wrong type argument: ~S"
       ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) list) s*)
       ((@@ (srfi srfi-9) list) s*)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The (struct-ref s 0) above becomes incorrect if, say, we add a field
right before ‘x’, because ‘x’ would now be at offset 1.

The safe solution here is to “make clean-go && make”.
