As a temporary workaround, you can install the `guix` package in the
root's profile.

The problem stems from the fact that the `guix pull`-built guix doesn't
include many extras that the Makefile-built guix has, like that file.
Maybe we should include it in the `guix pull` build, so that it is
easily available and updated?

Best,
