No, the version of Guile is not at fault here.  It’s about the version
of Guix.

(The GWL builds with Guix as an input.)

I’m not sure what’s the best way to install the GWL, to be honest.
Should it be a mere channel that extends the *current* Guix?  If it is
built with Guix then it refers to an older version of Guix (namely the
older version that is available through Guix itself), so that’s not
actually desirable.

I think it should work with “guix pull” to stay current and ensure that
it has access to the same packages that a user would see on the command
line.  Currently, this only works through a channel.  I don’t really
like that, though.
