No, because the setup here is as we (will) use it in the stand-alone GNU
system, such as in the VM.

>     Or b) Set the default localstatedir in configure.ac to /var

No, because it’s really a user setting, like the other ‘configure’
settings.

Actually, clients honor the (undocumented) ‘GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET’
environment variables, so that’s one thing you could use.

The daemon still need to have the right $localstatedir, though.

Thanks,
