I'm using ./pre-inst-env on my powerpc-linux machine, using guile-3.0.2
as provided by Debian. When I try to run the following command:
./pre-inst-env guix build -L /path/to/repo -m /path/to/manifest.scm -n
I get the following error:

guix/ui.scm:230:13: error: default-optimization-level: unbound variable

It doesn't make sense to gate this with (target-ppc32?) since it's due
to the guile version. If I had configured within 'guix shell -D guix' I
would be using guile-3.0.7.

configure.ac checks for guile 3.0.


(ins)efraim@g4:~$ apt-cache policy guile-3.0

I’m in favor of updating ‘configure.ac’ to check for Guile > 3.0.x
(we’ll have to check which value of ‘x’ works).

But…

… are you saying that requiring > 3.0.2 would cause problems when
porting to other architectures?

In general, we shouldn’t be tied to what Debian provides, but we can see
how much of a problem that would cause.  If it really is a problem, we
can adjust that one reference to ‘default-optimization-level’ in (guix
ui).

Thanks,
Ludo’.

As you suggested on IRC, I went ahead and did that in commit
d582b399781f6fd80c63d07746524196603972e4.
