I jumped that hurdle with LD_PRELOAD, but this is not an acceptable fix 
of course. However, I did that only to realize that Slurm in guix is 
compiled without mysql support, so I'll need to change the package, 
which I have never done.

I wanted to use Slurm from Guix because Debian does not provide every 
possible Slurm version. This can be a problem when a Slurm cluster must 
be upgraded without shutting it down completely. I hoped to gain some 
independence from my host distribution but it appears that won't be so 
simple...
