my understanding is that it's using the just-produced Guile binary and testing wether `system' and `system*' are able spawn executables and return their exit code. Anyway, I have to apologise, I can't reproduce the issue anymore. It was probably something wrong while I was trying to understand bug#61095[0]. Consider the patch dropped, the test suite correctly sets up the $PATH as the README describe. Sorry for the noise. Omar Polo [0]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=61095
