Grovelling in source I find that "GUIX_LD_WRAPPER_ALLOW_IMPURITIES=yep
make install" works.  Cool :)

I guess the "right" solution is an environment variable setting to allow
linking to libraries whose file names are absolute.  You might possibly
want to exclude libraries in /usr, just to avoid a hassle, but people do
make things in /usr/local so dunno.

Maybe GUIX_LD_WRAPPER_ALLOW_IMPURITIES=/opt/guile:/opt/foo or so.
