Gotcha.

I see, so something along these lines?
```C
const char* guixLocPath = g_getenv("GUIX_LOCPATH");
char** locPaths = NULL;
if (guixLocPath != NULL) {
locPaths = g_strsplit(guixLocPath,':', 4096);
for (int i = 0; i < g_strv_length(locPaths); i++) {
sandboxArgs.appendVector(Vector<CString>({
"--ro-bind", *locPaths[i], *locPaths[i]
}));
}
g_strfreev(locPaths);
}
```

Sounds good to me! Will send v4 with just that.
