The problem with tests/misc/env-S.pl is that it needs "env"
pre-installed and residing in either /bin or /usr/bin, which do not
exist in the Guix build container.

From running it through 'strace':

430   write(2, "split -S:  'A=B \\\\c'\n", 21) = 21
430   write(2, " into:    'A=B'\n", 16) = 16
430   write(2, "cleaning environ\n", 17) = 17
430   write(2, "setenv:   A=B\n", 14)   = 14
430   write(2, "executing: env\n", 15)  = 15
430   write(2, "   arg[0]= 'env'\n", 17) = 17
430   execve("/bin/env", ["env"], 0x22ce580 /* 1 var */) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)
430   execve("/usr/bin/env", ["env"], 0x22ce580 /* 1 var */) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
430   write(2, "env: ", 5)              = 5
430   write(2, "'env'", 5)              = 5
430   write(2, ": No such file or directory", 27) = 27
430   write(2, "\n", 1)                 = 1
430   close(1)                          = 0
430   close(2)                          = 0
430   exit_group(127)                   = ?
430   +++ exited with 127 +++

I can't figure out where /bin and /usr/bin comes from.  'env' is
available on PATH during the build, but that does not suffice here.
