All of our binary substitutes are built with a store prefix of /gnu.
Using a different store prefix requires bootstrapping the entire system
from source code, once per core-updates cycle, and also doing frequent
rebuilds of upper layers of the stack to keep up with the updates on our
master branch. Most users won't want to do this.
