Re: Unable to define shebang for guix shell file

[Jacob Hrbek]

Doesn't seem to work on `busybox sh` for me (I am not aware of better way to 
replicate POSIX environment on GNU Guix):

kreyren@leonid ~$ guix shell busybox -- busybox sh
...
~ $ cat test.sh 

#!/usr/bin/env -S guix shell --
(use-modules
        (guix channels))

(list (channel
        (name 'guix)
        (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";)
        (commit
          "f1bfd9f1948a5ff336d737c0614b9a30c2bb3097")
        (introduction
          (make-channel-introduction
            "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
            (openpgp-fingerprint
              "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D  E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))))

(specifications->manifest
        (list "emacs@27.2"
                "emacs-treemacs"
                "emacs-evil"))
~ $ ./test.sh
