Great, that means that we have a reduced test case now!
Now, could you try to comment out some of the lines before the ‘execl’
until you find which one is responsible for that?
IIRC you said that
"/gnu/store/cnqmkmj40jmssnx6fkf9n0n3bqj5x426-guile-2.0.11/bin/guile" is
555, so normally every user on the machine can run it. It can only
imagine an obscure kernel or file system setting that would somehow
prevent execution, but we’ll see.
Thank you,
Ludo’.
