As discussed on IRC, ‘guix pull’ preserves the settings of the host
Guix.  So if your initial ‘guix’ has %sysconfdir set to /usr/local/etc,
‘guix pull’ will preserve that.

It turns out that, as is always the case with GNU Standards compliant
configure script, the default value for --prefix is /usr/local, and the
default for --sysconfdir is $prefix/etc.

Mostly likely, what happened is that at some point you built Guix from
source using the default prefix and sysconfdir, and then you ran ‘guix
pull’ from that Guix.

You did find other differences eventually though, right?

HTH,
Ludo’.
