That’s because ‘--root’ is not a “common build option” in the sense of
"(guix) Common Build Options". :-)
That said, I agree we should either make it a common option (i.e., add
it to ‘%standard-build-options’ in (guix scripts build)) or add it
explicitly to ‘guix system’. The latter may be simpler.
Thoughts?
