Ah, okay.  I'm still a bit confused, given how verbose that recipe was,
but I get where you're coming from.

I think some important information gets lost here, because you already
built most of the packages.  You could try garbage-collecting them and
then start anew, but then you'd be building the entire profile at full
debug info.  Interestingly, nothing shows up for the generation of
profile.drv, which might indicate, that there are not actually two
packages in there.  It's at least a bit suspicious.

Having received the path of the profile.drv, you might now want to look
at what packages it references (recursively), specifically all mentions
of glib.  (Use emacs-guix for quick navigation through .drv files.)

For the record, in case you forgot to note the .drv, my profile
containing glib-with-documentation and gobject-introspection is

/gnu/store/cl1wz5wsgjy208n330z4p9f5kljzixp2-profile.drv
