More issues...I successfully compiled guix from source.  and I tried to reconfigure
via ./pre-inst-env.  1st I tried using the newest compiled guix daemon:

$ sudo herd stop guix-daemon
$ cd guix-src;  # I am not in a guix shell at the moment
$ sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
  guix-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$
$ guix shell --fallback -D guix help2man git
$ sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
  guix-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ exit  # exiting guix shell

Ok, so I definely cannot use the newest compiled guix daemon.

$ sudo herd start guix-daemon  # I am currently in #guix-src
$ sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure ../../guix/guix-config/bare-bones-sway.scm

and again, guix is trying to build several versions of rust...downloading a ton of stuff.
It seems like it is trying to bootstrap guix system.  Why would it be doing that?

Here's my guix system configuration:
