My own kernel package has nothing left in common with linux-libre, 
but it does build from git and has this phase + comment which I'd 
hoped
would never see the light of day:

 (add-before 'configure 'fix-CPATH 
   (lambda _ 
     ;; Temporary hack to remove -checkout/include which breaks 
     things.  ;; Why is this not necessary when building in a 
     ‘guix environment’ ;; and in the Guix linux-libre package? 
     Git-checkout-related?  (setenv "CPATH" (string-join 
                      (cdr (string-split (getenv "CPATH") #\:)) 
                      ":")) 
     #t))

I'd remove it to see what happens, but that would be tomorrow and 
you appear to be in something of a hurry. 

Good luck!
