This failure is because of this assumption in the test:

         ;; Note: %BOOTSTRAP-GUILE depends on the bootstrap Bash.
         (lset=3D string=3D?
                (call-with-input-file g-guile read)
                (list (derivation->output-path guile-drv) bash))

This assumption does not hold if you use a =E2=80=98bash=E2=80=99 binary di=
fferent from
the one Guix provides; I had overlooked this.

You can either solve this by pre-downloading Guix=E2=80=99 statically-linked
{bash,mkdir,xz,tar} as discussed earlier, or simply by skipping this
test by adding (test-skip 1) above it (it=E2=80=99s not unreasonable IMO).
