Great!

By the way, Guix *does* work with Guile 2.0. The messages you saw should
not prevent using Guix. Guix was using Guile 2.0, which was finding some
pre-compiled Guile 2.2 objects. Guile 2.0 printed those messages to say
that it did not recognize the precompiled objects and had to recompile
them.

Guix is not self-contained. Its dependencies are listed in the manual:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Requirements.html

As for whether or not it could or should be self-contained, answering
that is outside of my expertise.

I think there is no bug to fix here, right? Please re-open the bug if I
am wrong.
