gnu/system.scm has not changed; gnu/system/file-system.scm did. Guile modules are composed at run time for the most part, so when you change one, you don’t have to rebuild those that use it. However, you do have to recompile them if they rely on it for macros and those macros have changed or are no longer macros. This is what happened here. Ludo’.
