Exactly. Most of the time “build-side” module are not loaded in the Guile process that uses ‘with-imported-modules’. It’s a bit of hack but it’s necessary. Guile could provide this functionality, but (guix modules) bakes in a few assumptions, notably that all the source files start with ‘define-module’. Ludo’.
