A minor update. I was able to reproduce this problem in a Guix environment. If I install guile in the environment, this problem does not manifest. If I don't have guile in the environment, this problem manifests. In other words, with guix environment --ad-hoc guile autoconf automake pkg-config this problem does not manifest. But, with guix environment --ad-hoc autoconf automake pkg-config this problem manifests. I have no idea why this is the case, but perhaps this could be a lead worth investigating.
