You must not add Guix’s top-level source tree to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
(which is what -L does).

Directories in the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH are scanned for all their modules,
which are then loaded.  However, the Guix source tree contains things
that are not even modules, like this build-self.scm file mentioned in
the error message.

But anyway, I think you’re confusing -L and -l; in my previous message I
was referring to ‘guix environment -l’.

HTH!
