Perhaps it is due to missing make flags? This commands works for me when
I run make:
  $ make AR=gcc-ar NM=gcc-nm RANLIB=gcc-ranlib

Sure.

  address@hidden:~/scm/guix$ ./pre-inst-env which guix-daemon
  /home/alexvong1995/scm/guix/guix-daemon

  address@hidden:~/scm/guix$ LC_ALL=C ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --version
  guix-daemon: unrecognized option '--version'
  Try `guix-daemon --help' or `guix-daemon --usage' for more information.

Cheers,
