I didn’t know about this bug report, but I did notice that Emacs wasn’t
able to load the Elisp files (M-x coq-mode didn’t work).

Proof General generates a pg-init.el file in
/path/to/guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/ProofGeneral/site-start.d,
Emacs isn’t able to find that file, so doing (require 'proof-site)
doesn’t work.

Relevant part of the Makefile

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ELISPP=share/${EMACS}/site-lisp/ProofGeneral
ELISP_START=${PREFIX}/share/${EMACS}/site-lisp/site-start.d

[...]

install-init:
        mkdir -p ${ELISP_START}
        echo ';;; pg-init.el --- setup for Proof General' > 
${ELISP_START}/pg-init.el
        echo "(setq load-path (append load-path '(\"${DEST_ELISP}/generic\")))" 
>> ${ELISP_START}/pg-init.el
        echo "(require 'proof-site)" >> ${ELISP_START}/pg-init.el
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With this patch, I set the ELISP_START variable to the same value os
ELISPP, now the pg-init.el file ends up in the ProofGeneral directory,
and Emacs is now able to find it.  Doing (require 'proof-site) worked,
and M-x coq-mode created a splash screen, so it seems to work (I just
starting looking into Coq).
