I've included the derivation contents below, I can't see the -L and -C
flags, so I'm guessing that they are missing.

As for what commit this is on, this particular occurance took place
when I was using my odd guix-pre-inst-env [1] script that

Guix, without letting anything from the surrounding environment creep
in, so I'm not really sure what code was in use at the time.
