I imagine that would be possible, with some effort.
(BTW anything in PATH that did not begin /nix/store was just a
bleed-over from my own non-Nix environment, and won't be present on
hydra.)
But this would just be hiding a real problem that is not specific to hydra.
As I said, it's a feature of Nix/Guix installations in general.
