I’m not too keen on doing that: the scanner in (guix build grafts) would
have to be quite different if it were to catch /gnu/store references
burried in wide strings.  That’d be a real challenge.

The proposed changes (using Fish’ relocatability mechanism or ensuring
that the /gnu/store references are in char[] arrays) would be far
easier.

Let me know if you need clarifications regarding these.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
