No I was completely on the wrong track (libguile/extensions.c, which
implements ‘load-extension’, has a mechanism to load pre-registered
extensions without going through ‘dlopen’.)

The problem is simpler: the ‘guile-static-stripped’ that’s on the store

system.  Thus, once we’ve switched roots, we look for “ice-9/popen.scm”
in a load path that’s no longer valid.

… and then run your test.

As you can see,
/gnu/store/9whwwppmb2sjfsy0967s627bzgdfl8bc-guile-static-stripped-2.2.2/share/guile/2.2, which is at
the tail of %load-path, is missing from the root file system, hence the
failure.

To work around it, we’d have to either ensure that
‘guile-static-stripped’ is on the root file system, or adjust the load
path when we switch roots, or (simplest solution) pre-load (ice-9 popen)
before ‘switch-root’.

To be continued…
