Too many levels of symbolic links

Hi Guix,

after upgrading my system it becomes unusable. The guix system
reconfigure completes, but after that, running any command fails with an
"Too many levels of symbolic links" error.

Here are some examples:

```
bash: /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix:
/gnu/store/dlivmgf8xikvfi6422dggra77lay9g8y-guile-wrapper/bin/guile: bad
interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links
bash: /run/current-system/profile/bin/sh: Too many levels of symbolic links
bash: /run/current-system/profile/bin/ls: Too many levels of symbolic links
bash: /run/current-system/profile/bin/whoami: Too many levels of symbolic links
bash: /run/current-system/profile/bin/hostname: Too many levels of symbolic 
links
```

I'm not sure what's going on with the files in
/run/current-system/profile/bin (I can't run ls on them), but after
booting a previous working system, running the guile interpreter in
/gnu/store/dlivmgf8xikvfi6422dggra77lay9g8y-guile-wrapper/bin/guile
seems to be working fine.

I first thought I have too many symlinks on my system. I cleaned up old
generations and collected the garbage, but the problem still
persists. So I think this is not the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Roman.
