Thanks, I did that and, as you suggested, I got warnings ...

address@hidden ~/src$ guix package -m g1.scm
;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /home/g1/.config/guix/latest/guix/ui.go 
failed:
;;; ERROR: In procedure load-thunk-from-memory: not an ELF file
;;; note: source file /home/g1/.config/guix/latest/guix/ui.scm

/gnu/store/d4wwx93gqizx132zjk7h1ir7rzph0pig-guix-0.12.0-10.ba2260d/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache/guix/ui.go

... but I really didn't want to do a git pull. So I re-built guix.  

Bottom line: FWIW, I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2 without 'guix pull' like
this way ...

cd ~/src/guix
guix environment -e "(@ (gnu packages package-management) guix)" -M 4 \
    -c 4
git pull
make clean-go
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
make -j 10 check
exit
sudo guix system build /root/con/55.scm -M 4 -c 4
sudo guix system reconfigure /root/con/55.scm -M 4 -c 4
sudo reboot
<log in>
cd ~/src/guix
guix environment -e "(@ (gnu packages package-management) guix)" -M 4 \
    -c 4
make clean-go
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
make -j 10 check
