Good to know!

Should we patch Emacs or something so that it works by default?

IIRC Tramp invokes =E2=80=98getconf PATH=E2=80=99 on the remote machine, wh=
ich is
totally useless on GuixSD and hardly fixable:

  $ getconf PATH
  /bin:/usr/bin

(For the record, it returns the value of libc=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98_PATH_DEFP=
ATH=E2=80=99
constant, which doesn=E2=80=99t make much sense on non-FHS systems.)

Ludo=E2=80=99.
