Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit.

I noticed that -e command line options are not recognised.

lanfear@x35g$ cat tmp.ly
\version "2.22.0"

#(begin
  (use-modules (guile-user))
  (if (defined? 'foo) (ly:message "yes") (ly:message "no"))
)

\score {
  c''1
}
lanfear@x35g$ /usr/local/lilypond-cairo/bin/lilypond -e '(define foo 
#t)' --pdf -dbackend=cairo tmp.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.23.4

Output looks good, apart from a known limitation

warning: The Cairo backend ignores embedded postscript!
