you should do exactly as suggested: Before running "make", configure the
Guix source code not by "./configure", but
./configure --localstatedir=/var
Personally I think this is a bug in Guix: It was chosen to follow the
standard configure behaviour (installation directories under /usr/local).
But it would probably be better to let the Guix behaviour be the one
that everybody wants (especially newcomers), and to leave options like
--localstatedir to people needing to do something unusual.
