I've reconfigured and rebooted my x86_64-linux GuixSD system based on
the latest core-updates (2f0d1b9dd2d75c5501767a15cf9b87fc057711c0).

There are some new warnings / errors during early boot, that read like
this:

------
;;; WARNING: loading compiled file 
/gnu/store/...-module-import-compiled/gnu/build/linux-boot.go failed:
;;; ERROR: In procedure make_objcode_from_file: bad header on object file: 
"\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01ÿ\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
------

This seems reminiscent of the object format change between Guile 2.0 and
Guile 2.2, but I'm not sure what's going on. I've attached photos of my
screen, which provide some more context.

Also, while starting my user's shepherd, there is a new error message,
but my services do start:

------
$ shepherd
Service root has been started.
Service mpd has been started.
Service syncthing has been started.
error in finalization thread: Bad file descriptor
error in finalization thread: Bad file descriptor
[... services start ...]
------
