This is because Guix is silly and thinks that even when you are
installing to /rando/prefix/that/you/like that it's bad to link to
thinks outside /gnu/store.

The workaround is to export GUIX_LD_WRAPPER_ALLOW_IMPURITIES=yesplease.
(Actually any value.)

The real fix is to prevent ld-wrapper from carping for normal installs
to non-store prefixen!
