That helped, and now it successfully updates the grub.cfg file, but now
there's another problem. When it tries to execvp 'grub-install', it
can't find it because PATH is set to:
"/gnu/store/l5815c2iars8scdy82grfjjmxv9ahgv2-shadow-4.1.5.1/sbin"
Here's a transcript of the attempt, with (pk 'path (getenv "PATH"))
inserted just before the (system* "grub-install" ...) call in
guix/build/install.scm:
