Indeed.

$ guix environment -C --ad-hoc ghostscript
[env]$ ps2pdf --version
/gnu/store/jc3x02w3dmbff7s5r7g2d21r2jswag4p-profile/bin/ps2pdf: line
8: dirname: command not found
/gnu/store/jc3x02w3dmbff7s5r7g2d21r2jswag4p-profile/bin/ps2pdf14: line

/gnu/store/jc3x02w3dmbff7s5r7g2d21r2jswag4p-profile/bin/ps2pdfwr: line
7: dirname: command not found
/gnu/store/jc3x02w3dmbff7s5r7g2d21r2jswag4p-profile/bin/ps2pdfwr: line
24: basename: command not found
Usage: [options...] (input.[e]ps|-) [output.pdf|-]

The fix would to add these external commands as 'inputs' and then let
'wrap-program'. Do you want to give a try?
