I tracked down a bug where octave has a function called 'copyfile' which
shells out to call 'cp -r' but in an environment without coreutils, or
when in a script with PATH unset, it fails.

try it out with the following:
touch foo
guix environment --pure --ad-hoc octave-cli -- \
    octave --eval 'copyfile("foo","bar");'
