Ah, wait you mean: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00225.html I had to replace the following binaries in order to make ./pre-inst-env guix build -K -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make- boot0))' work: bash, cat, cp, gawk, grep, install, mv, rm, rmdir, tar, xz, cpp, guile, mkdir, It seems these work for me.

That's an interesting extension.) Okay, that's a whole different route but starting from a working situation can certainly help. I'm going to try the Guix route some bit more for now. > See > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-08/msg00198.html > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00000.html > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00014.html > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00225.html > for some of the efforts to make Guix work on GNU/Hurd.
