This is true, and this causes the problem that Ludo' describes:
Two problems:
* (ice-9 string-fun) is part of Guile, so compiling it again is
pointless (and potentially harmful, if ice-9/string-fun.scm contains a
reference /gnu/store/.../some-target-specific-library.so)
* a form of non-determinism and non-reproducibility -- you are copying
the modules from the Guile that 'guix' is run with, instead of always
using the modules from the Guile that is defined inside Guix.
* additionally, maybe the inside-Guix and what-Guix-is-compiled-with
Guile expect different behaviour of (ice-9 string-fun), causing bugs
Greetings,
Maxime.
