The two situations: 1. I followed the README instructions to build guix, and was quite = confused by the `localstatedir` business.

(I still don=E2=80=99t, and = have been doing quite fine without the knowledge.) 2. I ran guix pull && guix package -u. And afterwards, the guix = development environment was broken in an obscure way. Re-running guix environment = guix didn=E2=80=99t help. It turns out configure stores some full paths to = core utilities, such as $ grep ^MKDIR_P config.status=20 MKDIR_P=3D'/gnu/store/lkrj6zifhk5dk888713dqyzfwk5bich0-profile/bin/mkdir = -p=E2=80=99 To me it=E2=80=99s entirely unexpected that after a small OS update my = dev environment should break in this way.
