Yes, but I'd like the system tests to run successfully first.

Even without the patch, lots and lots of system tests, including installed-os, 
failed for me (in guix environment guix --fallback --pure).

So next I tried to isolate the environment more and more, using a networked 
container.

$ guix environment guix --fallback --pure -C -N --expose=/var/guix 
--expose=/gnu/store
[env]$ ln -s /var/guix /etc/guix
[env]$ make check-system

I get:

So I manually checked the relevant parts of 
./gnu/packages/package-management.scm :

                                (target (string-append "gnu/packages/bootstrap/"
                                                       arch "-linux/"
                                                       "/guile-"
                                                       (boot-guile-version arch)
                                                       ".tar.xz")))
                            (mkdir-p (dirname target)) ;XXX: eventually unneeded
                            (copy-file guile target)))

                        (copy "i686")
                        (copy "x86_64")
                        (copy "mips64el")
                        (copy "armhf")
                        (copy "aarch64")

Not sure what the problem is.  Help?
