Not as obvious as I thought: it doesn't build.

    $ guix build -L channel -f .guix.scm

starts out saying
 
   The following derivations will be built:
       /gnu/store/b62d2v6210p8j27fcx7z08xb3lcjw5hi-gwl-0.3.0.drv
       /gnu/store/prx66i4jvs445g82gkc5sv7p7hhf27ba-guile-lib-0.2.7.drv
    building /gnu/store/prx66i4jvs445g82gkc5sv7p7hhf27ba-guile-lib-0.2.7.drv...

and many lines later fails with

    /tmp/guix-build-guile-lib-0.2.7.drv-0/guile-lib-0.2.7/build-aux/missing: 
line 81: makeinfo: command not found
    WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.

Note that

    $ guix build --check guile-lib

works just fine, so the failure must somehow involve the additional
channel. Unfortunately I don't understand the guile-replacing magic in
there well enough for any serious debugging.

Cheers,
  Konrad.
