On 2021-11-07, I submitted a patch that can be found at
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38606, but that patch doesn't fix the
/bin/sh issue. It merely avoids the issue by disabling the building of
SML/NJ libraries. `OS.Process.system` is used during the building of
SML/NJ libraries.

I eventually figured out how to build the whole thing (including
libraries), but it involves using `sed` to patch strings in some
binaries. I will submit a non-WIP patch, hopefully within this week.

By the way, should I submit the new patch to
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38606 (38606@debbugs.gnu.org), or should I
start a new thread by submitting it to guix-patches@gnu.org?
