Install and reinstall issues on Fedora 34

Hi there,

I am evaluating Guix and am running into some issues getting it to work
under Fedora 34 Workstation. I followed the binary install instructions
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html>,
running the install script from an interactive root shell. All went well, I
rebooted the VM, but then guix-daemon failed to start:

× guix-daemon.service - Build daemon for GNU Guix
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service; enabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: *failed *(Result: exit-code) since Tue 2021-06-15 08:50:44

Jun 15 08:50:44 fedora systemd[1]: guix-daemon.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.

It seems like a permission error, as the ExecStart path exists and resolves
to the /gnu/store, which is ther. Manually running the command does work as
well. I did try to replace the readlink -f'ed path in the SystemD service:

ExecStart=/gnu/store/0iii8i1lc4wg3wccs1db7y7d8lg80i04-guix-1.3.0/bin/guix-daemon
--build-users-group=guixbuild

But the same Permission Denied/Failed to locate issue remains. I know that
Fedora uses SELinux which sometimes causes some problems, but I'm not sure
about how to resolve that.

Help would be appreciated :)

Many thanks

Sebastien
