That does indeed sound like the easiest option. ;) > Including merely "ocaml" in my `manifest.scm` did not help.

I'm not sufficiently familiar with the OCaml ecosystem to say why libraries installed with findlib are clashing with globally installed libraries, but perhaps that's an issue that may be more specific to OCaml than to Guix? Also, you may want to be mindful of nesting Guix shells within one another via your Makefile targets. You may - for example - find it cleaner to just enter a Guix shell and then run your make commands from within it. Happy hacking!
