Are any of your R users TMB users? Because I ran into that in multiple setups (Guix SD and Guix on foreign distros) where only a specific ordering worked even when using guix shell --pure. This was back in the R 4.1.2 days. In theory it should be impossible and yet I ran into it. No I was not mixing packages installed via. install.packages.
Right now with the latest version of Guix and R 4.2.1 TMB is not usable. Try running:
"guix shell --container r r-tmb make gcc-toolchain gfortran-toolchain"
then try running the linreg.R (with the corresponding cpp file, or any of the examples) example from https://github.com/kaskr/adcomp/tree/master/tmb_examples
and you'll run into "did you mean 'bad_array_new_length'? This is on a Guix SD system too...
And you have to specify make,gcc-toolchain and gfortran-toolchain for it to work normally. If you l

eave out gfortran-toolchain it compiles but you can't load it and it doesn't work without make. Previously I had it working with those 5 packages in a specific order.
Perhaps this is a TMB only problem but it's a giant PITA when it works fine on non-Guix setups.
