Hi ng0,

I only ever do
$ guix environment --fallback --pure guix
(The "--pure" is important)
and it works fine, bootstrapping too (via ./bootstrap - which invokes
autoreconf).
I mean I guess your ad-hoc-everything way should be possible, but why would you
do that? It makes the setup flaky should the guix package ever change its
inputs (I don't know whether it did in fact do that).
I do sometimes specify extra ad-hoc packages, like so:
$ guix environment --fallback --pure guix --ad-hoc guile-ncurses-with-gpm
The order of the arguments is sometimes important. I think of "--ad-hoc" like
"--" for many other UNIX commands (startx etc).
