I think the “make install” part means here “./pre-inst-env guix pull”.
Well, that’s the only case where I had troubles because this value is
recorded and can be propagated.  Consider,

    ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make
    ./pre-inst-env guix pull
    guix pull --commit=1234abc

and compared to the sequence without ./pre-inst-env:

    guix pull
    guix pull -- commit=1234abc

then it does not lead to the exact same Guix.  For examples:

        https://yhetil.org/guix/86eehycjre.fsf@gmail.com
