How did you install Guix?

You should never change files in the store.

The recommended way is to use =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D, which compiles G=
uix.  If
you=E2=80=99re using Guix from a source checkout and with =E2=80=99pre-inst=
-env=E2=80=99 you=E2=80=99ll
only need to compile the files with =E2=80=9Cmake=E2=80=9D to remove the re=
ason for
these warnings to be issued.
