Changed to

    ((#:make-flags _)

As discussed on IRC.

After discussing on IRC, pushed to core-updates as 737c83f0ff9977572516c65502bdde92abd18629.

This means that

    ./pre-inst-env guix build bootstrap-tarballs

now works on core-updates.  It will not work on master until
core-updates is merged.

Greetings,
