I suspect that the problem is caused by the transition from llvm6 to
llvm7 in the mesa package.

So, i think, the right decision would be if mesa do check cache version
and invalidate it in case of mismatch. 

On the other side — Guix itself, like any other distribution, should not
change the contents of user's home directories. May be, proper solution
will be indicate in the ~guix pull --news~, like it's implemented in debian
or gentoo.
