Hi,

the current racket package shows this behaviour:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
raco exe main.rkt                                                                                                                    L3 #5172

the same is true for `--cgc`

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
raco exe --cgc main.rkt                                                                                                              L3 #5173

but `--3m` works.  I suppose this is a bug because racket from the
racket teams ppa (https://launchpad.net/~plt/+archive/ubuntu/racket)
works in all cases.

Thanks for the report!

It seems that Guix's change in 8.2 to make `racket` a layered/tethered 
installation chaining to `racket-minimal` exposed a bug in Racket's 
`setup/variant` module. I've reported it upstream here: 
https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/3969

Hopefully it will be possible to cherry-pick the fix onto Guix's Racket 
8.2 packages.

The bug was fixed upstream, and I've submitted a patch at 
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50419> backporting the repair for Guix.

This was fixed in Guix commit fd22921490f40044d58be8ddc3b38b8be12188a6 
(September 10, 2021). See:
