Sorry for annoying you people, the actual problem is the EMACSLOADPATH
environment variable, which is set by Guix.  If I unset it (by
prepending "EMACSLOADPATH=" to the command), everything works, no matter
whether I build it in the source directory or out-of-tree.  Emacs runs
on Linux console, even with my init file (and loads faster than my
distro Emacs).
