no luck with this either:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build guile-srfi-189
/gnu/store/cy1mdr82i8dcj5435hnckibfqks3jmny-guile-srfi-189-0-0.a0e3786

when i try to build the vanilla srfi repo, then the .sld file is
ignored, and no .go file is produced at all. there's this, though:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2020-03/msg00005.html

```
** R7RS support recognizes the '.sld' extension

The '.sld' is what the R7RS suggests as a source file name extension.
It is now recognized when running "guile --r7rs", as well as
the '.guile.sld' extension.
```

but i guess i can't just compile one lib with --r7rs, and assume the
.go file can be loaded into a guile started without --r7rs, or can i?
