You're right.  I forgot to specify this option.

How can I tell Guix that 'nix-worker --daemon' listens on
'/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket', not
'/usr/local/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket'?  '--with-nix-prefix=/nix'
doesn't work.

I created a symlink to solve this:

# ln -s /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket 
/usr/local/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket

Well, it turned out that this is a related issue.

'./pre-inst-env guix-build -K hello' also tries to fetch the kernel from
<http://www.all.kernel.org>. How to instruct Guix to use Linux-libre
instead?
