bug#45654: Building guile on x86_64 for aarch64 fails because of a missing guile

I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ file /gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile
/gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /gnu/store/cb88z63hyg1icd2kkahiink2p291mhr2-glibc-2.31/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So ENOENT above means that the ELF interpreter of this file is not in
the build chroot, and that in turns almost certainly hints at an
inconsistency between the ‘--chroot-directory’ flags passed to
guix-daemon and the file name that shows up in
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-aarch64 (set up by ‘qemu-binfmt’).

I don’t see why restarting the two services has no effect.  Could you
compare the output of:

  guix gc -R $(cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-aarch64 |grep interpreter|cut -d ' ' -f 2-)

with the ‘--chroot-directory’ flags shown by:

  cat /proc/$(LC_ALL=C sudo -E herd status guix-daemon | grep Running| sed -'es/.* \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g')/cmdline | xargs -0 echo

?

Setting PATH like this won’t make any difference.

HTH!
