I think it is weird. It seems only dynamic linking with "libc" or "libm"
fails, dynamic linking with external library like "libpcre2-8" or
anyhome-made shared library would work. And yes, "libc-2.22" and
"libm-2.22" also works for me. As you have mentioned, since guile is
already linked with "libc" and "libm", so it is pratically not a
problem. I am just wondering if it is a bug or the intended behavior.

Below are the selected output from running
`LD_DEBUG=all LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib" guile`:
