Here you invoke 3 times “guix environment”, instead it is possible to
run:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 guix environment guix --container -- sh -c \
        './bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, I do not know if it is really better. :-)

Cheers,
