These paths are recorded at configure time.  The “./configure” script
checks for the full paths of dependencies and substitutes the
placeholders in the sources.

The error at the very top shows that your Guile (which happens to be in
Nix) is broken.  Maybe it is broken because of your environment.  It
doesn’t seem normal for a binary in Nix to load a library in the Guix
store.  (Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, or something similar that
could mess with where libraries are loaded from?)

Instead of using “find” and “sed” it would have been sufficient to rerun
“./configure” in a suitable environment containing Guile and the other
dependencies.
