Oh, good catch!

Above the ‘wrap-program’ call, there’s this comment:

        ;; Ignore user settings so that a bogus
        ;; GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH does not prevent use of
        ;; 'guix', notably when it contains entries pointing to
        ;; incompatible .go files as reported at
        ;; 
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg01261.html>.

Since 2.0.12, Guile skips invalid .go files, so this problem is gone.
So I think you can go ahead and change '= to 'prefix there.

Thanks!
