Recently, I also built the Arduino IDE to upload the software onto my
Open Theremin.  Instead of using patchelf I opted to make the loader
available globally:

   ln -s $(guix build glibc)/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/

On Guix System we can also use “extra-special-file”:

  (extra-special-file "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"
                      (file-append glibc "/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"))
