General Question: Execution of binaries not built for GuixSD |

Hello
I have a fresh installation of GuixSD and I'm keen of learning more. I struggle
with a concept and don't know how to circumvent best:
Binaries built for ordinary Linux's (as, in my case, Firefox Developer Edition)
expect libraries on certain standard pathes which doesn't exist on GuixSD. I
found three possibilities that might work:
* use fakechroot to make my user profile a pseudo root (disadvantage: I have no
experience, it seams there is no package for that)
* create symbolic links (disadvantage: new builts get a new path with a hash
value and must be re-linked properly)
* install a minimal Linux and use Guix instead of GuixSD (disadvantage: this
would the point where I had capitulated)
My question: is there an already elabored way, documentation and so on, for
this specific problem?
so long
