This was fixed in Guile commit cc2948a, which appeared in Guile 2.0.9
(April 2013).

I’m reluctant to adding a workaround for it in Guix because it’s already
been fixed in pretty old Guile versions (although we still support as
old as 2.0.5.)

Thus, for now, I’d recommend either upgrading Guile, or removing
--target= in Guix’s Makefile.am.

Does that work for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
