Yes, this comes from './pre-inst-env guix build zsh'.

Do you need more info?

PS =E2=80=93 I built git guix inside of the guix 0.5 emacs, and I felt =
like that may=20
have had unfavorable results. Inside git guix emacs, programs like the =
shells are coming from=20
the OS packages instead of guix. I don't think that happened with guix=20=

0.5 inside its emacs. It's hard to explain. Emacs is loading from guix =
store.
The two /nix/store strings below are different:
