[bug#48434] [PATCH] guile: allow pre-inst-env inject local paths

[Sergei Trofimovich]

I observed the problem when tried to run 'guix refresh' from local git checkout:

    $ strace -f ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u re2c |& fgrep re2c.scm
    ...
    [pid 3014757] openat(AT_FDCWD, 
"/usr/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/packages/re2c.scm.qilB0R",
        O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Attempt to /usr/share happens because local directory override is ignored:

    $ ./pre-inst-env guile -c '(display (search-path %load-path 
"gnu/packages/re2c.scm")) (newline) (display %load-path) (newline)'
    /usr/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/packages/re2c.scm
    (/usr/share/guile/3.0 \
     /usr/share/guile/site/3.0 \
     /usr/share/guile/site \
     /usr/share/guile \
     /home/slyfox/dev/git/guix \
     /home/slyfox/dev/git/guix)

It happens because ./guile ignores GUILE_LOAD_PATH / GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH
unconditionally.

The change keeps GUILE_LOAD_PATH / GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH for ./pre-inst-env.

* gnu/packages/aux-files/guile-launcher.c (main): don't ignore
GUILE_LOAD_PATH / GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH in GUIX_UNINSTALLED=1 mode.
