Hi Guix,

I just upgraded to the full source bootstrap (my cron job was apparently
failing daily due to a channel, and I didn't realize before today), and
following the guix pull, I get the following error when running $ guix
home reconfiugre "file.scm":

```
/gnu/store/ad8351jvj61da279a3ddfs2gmk3whvdq-guile-wrapper/bin/guile: symbol lookup error: /gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined symbol: __libc_pthread_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE
```

Rolling back fixes it, as anticipated.

Hey Blake,

I too was encountering this issue, but I resolved it by restarting the
`guix-daemon` process before upgrading the system and again after
upgrading the system and before doing a `home` reconfigure.

I don't think it's related, but I also cleared out my guix substitute
cache before everything worked again.

I hope that helps.

-Kenny
