Consider the following: That’s because ‘--root’ is not a “common build option” in the sense of "(guix) Common Build Options". :-) That said, I agree we should either make it a common option (i.e., add it to ‘%standard-build-options’ in (guix scripts build)) or add it explicitly to ‘guix system’. The latter may be simpler. Thoughts? Ludo’.
