The following problem was discovered while attempting to configure Guix to use
a locally built Guile tree, via its meta/uninstalled-env script, which would
attempt to use the newer Guile source files and fail with:

  Pre-boot error; key: unbound-variable, args: (#f "Unbound variable:
  ~S" (error) #f)collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 6 [Aborted]

With the following change, a Guix user may now configure their build to use a
locally built Guile with e.g.:

  ~/src/guile/meta/uninstalled-env ./configure --localstatedir=/var \
  --sysconfdir=/etc

* gnu/packages/ld-wrapper.in: Unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH.  Also unset
GUILE_SYSTEM_PATH, for symmetry.  Streamline exec call, using the now fixed
'-l' option.
(ld-wrapper): Fix args being a nested list, and strip its arg0.

Changes in v2:

 - Refine comment

LGTM!

I’ll let you check with Josselin et al. whether to merge it now in
‘core-updates’ (my gut feeling is that we’d rather wait for the next
cycle, but I’ve haven’t been following lately.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
