I've tried to dig deeper into this, but am stumped by an issue: editing
'build-aux/build-self.scm' isn't actually doing anything.
After applying this diff, the status message still prints out when running
'./pre-inst-env guix build -e "((@ (gnu packages package-management)
current-guix))"':
diff --git a/build-aux/build-self.scm b/build-aux/build-self.scm

However, (guix channels) is definitely reading build-self, as changing the path
it reads it from to a nonexistent path causes the build to throw, as expected.
The same goes for if I edit any module except for some values in (guix config)
-- 'current-guix' never gets rebuilt.
I'd appreciate any help in figuring this out.
Thanks,
Winter
