Indeed, bigloo requires some packages.  This works for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -C bigloo libunistring gcc-toolchain libgc pcre \
     -- bigloo /tmp/myfile.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where myfile.scm is the same as yours.

Note that it outputs nothing, right?


Well, “guix shell -C” is for being sure all the packages required by the
bigloo compiler are inside the environment.  For regular usage, you can
just use “guix shell --pure” or without any special option, or even
install all the packages in a profile.
