I wrote this part of the definition a few months ago, but it seems like 
I was copying the flags set for a release version of the package as 
defined in the repository's CMakePresets.json[1]. On review, it appears 
the last two settings are redundant with Guix and the package's 
defaults, so I'll remove them next version.

Indeed. I'll revise it.
