It does, thanks a lot!

It seems to be the good way of working in my "multi-user" setting. Why
should every user handle his own copy of guix? For instance, the daemon
needs to be installed in a system location to be started by the init system.
Anyway, "make install" needs to work.

Does this not interfere badly with git? I am running "make install" from my
latest stable master git branch, so that every user on the system has a recent
stable guix, with "stable" in the sense of a rolling release, not the latest
official relase. Then I use "./pre-inst-env" from my private branch in which
I am developing new packages.
