Should that be working properly (out-of-the-box) when you're already in
a qemu VM (recursive virtualization) ?
I ask because I'm getting:
[...]
ERROR: qemu failed "qemu-system-x86_64"
[...]

I'm far from there, I have a *really* hard time getting back to guixsd. For
instance it took me very long time to find back the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
env var. This looks under-documented, or I don't understand how one is to
work on custom or new packages, etc...
guix edit is throwing me :
E166: Can't open linked file for writing
Looks like I'm missing something big.
