@csantosb Wow, that's a LOT of work, and very complicated. Thanks for the detailed story, I learned a lot of things by reading it (like LD_PRELOAD).
I think it was Linus Torvalds himself who complained that the worst thing about Linux systems is the difficulty and variation in contributing to the packaging systems: it is not just Guix which is difficult! There must be an easier way...
