It has come to my attention that guix packages (at least those with gnu build system) default their statedirs to directories under /nix/store/. Recall that the statedirs (ie: sharedstatedir localstatedir and runstatedir) are for installing data files *which the programs modify while they run* [1]. Obviously a program cannot modify anything under /nix/store I think we need to update the default configure flags.
