I'm on Debian testing.

I had a similar experience: I installed gnutls manually in /usr/local
and successfully compiled Guix.

However, for various reasons, I then wanted to recompile Guix with
Guix (and remove the manually installed gnutls and Debian Guile) and
that's where I was struggling to make things work. I fixed things as
in my reply to Alex Kost.

Thanks for your reply.
