Ideally it should never be set, not even locally. As the env var will propagate to processes where one doesn't really want it. If you do not want to patch the binaries via patchelf, I think the best solution would be if someone packaged https://github.com/nix-community/nix-ld and made a service for it. Then one can safely set NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH and unpatched programs would then be able to find the binaries, while guix binaries started by those unpatched programs wouldn't get libraries replaced.
