Here is the output:

However, I think that load-path of 'guix system' have nothing to do with 
config.scm. If I run 'guix system --help' with GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH 
defined, I have the output below:

# guix system --help

Usage: guix system [OPTION ...] ACTION [ARG ...] [FILE]
Build the operating system declared in FILE according to ACTION.
Some ACTIONS support additional ARGS.

The valid values for ACTION are:
