Hi Leo!

Both search-paths and native-search-paths are expanded in a build
environment to form an environment variable.  search-paths works on
inputs whereas native-search-paths works on native-inputs.  In
addition, native-search-paths also end up in your
$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile.

So it is like how "PATH" is established inside build environment?

Also, are they useful only to the package itself or to other
packages
that depend on it as well?
Depends on the package.  If it gets propagated into the build
environment, the variable is set as well.  At other times, it might be
set through the wrap phase for runtime purposes.

I am gonna sit on what you said and think.

Regards,
RG.
