Oops.

I've installed the host guix using the armhf tarball from the website.

$ which guix
/usr/local/bin/guix
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/guix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Mar  4 15:25 /usr/local/bin/guix -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix

Aha!  That's different to Guix System, right?

$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix -> current-guix-1-link
$ ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix-1-link/
[...]
libexec -> /gnu/store/a8041j3pg62zi62b30w91mxrmjsamp64-guix-1.0.1/libexec

I guess I could guix pull under root user, but that would hide these kind of
usability bugs under the carpet :)

In any case, seems to work fine to just not compile target guix in the first
place and have it be interpreted, so that's what I'm doing now to get some
actual work done :)

Will try guix pull as root later...
