You must not add Guix=E2=80=99s top-level source tree to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
(which is what -L does).

Directories in the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH are scanned for all their modules,
which are then loaded.  However, the Guix source tree contains things
that are not even modules, like this build-self.scm file mentioned in
the error message.

But anyway, I think you=E2=80=99re confusing -L and -l; in my previous mess=
age I
was referring to =E2=80=98guix environment -l=E2=80=99.

HTH!
