This must come from the lack of /proc/self/exe.

Specifically, =E2=80=9Cguile-static-stripped=E2=80=9D has this patch to mak=
e it
relocatable:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/guil=
e-relocatable.patch

This is necessary for the bootstrap Guile (see make-bootstrap.scm), and
was necessary in the initrd on GNU/Linux (I think we no longer need it
for the initrd).

At any rate, you may be able to boot the Hurd with the =E2=80=9Creal=E2=80=
=9D,
dynamically-linked Guile, no?  That would solve the problem entirely.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
