The code for this check is in the =E2=80=98GUILE_PROGS=E2=80=99 macro, defi=
ned in
meta/guile.m4 in Guile.

I think it makes sense for this macro to try version-specific program
names first, and only then to fall back to =E2=80=9Cguile=E2=80=9D.  So I w=
ould suggest
leaving this macro unchanged.

That said, guile-2.2.pc and guile-2.0.pc both define =E2=80=98guile=E2=80=
=99 and
=E2=80=98guild=E2=80=99.  So =E2=80=98GUILE_PROGS=E2=80=99 should probably =
use these when pkg-config is
being used, instead of trying to guess from $PATH.

Thoughts?

We could encourage people to use --pure or -C.

On Fedora there is /usr/bin/guile2.  When I want to configure Guix from
source I run =E2=80=9Cguix environment guix=E2=80=9D and run =E2=80=9C./c=
onfigure=E2=80=9D.  This aborts
because the configure script finds the system=E2=80=99s /usr/bin/guile2 b=
efore
=E2=80=9Cguile=E2=80=9D from the environment.

Here=E2=80=99s the error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
configure: checking for guile 2.2
configure: found guile 2.2
checking for guile-2.2... no
checking for guile2.2... no
checking for guile-2... no
checking for guile2... /usr/bin/guile2
configure: error: found development files for Guile 2.2, but /usr/bin/gui=
le2 has effective version 2.0
make: *** [Makefile:3071: config.status] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

To make this work I need to move /usr/bin/guile2 away or make it
otherwise unaccessible (e.g. with =E2=80=9Cguix environment --container g=
uix=E2=80=9D).

Is there something we can do about this to ensure that =E2=80=9Cguix envi=
ronment
guix=E2=80=9D is sufficient to build Guix from source on Fedora?
