Ah, I never considered this as a Guix-related fix: shipping symlinks to
/usr might happen to work on some (?) other systems, but it's obviously
not how autotools should be used.
We should serve users with a --source tarball that is either already
bootstrapped or ready to be, not in some dead-end third state.
The correct answer in either case is, of course: ‘it's a silly detail,
Tobias’.
