In addition to ( answer, you can use ’guix time-machine’ with an
appropriated channels.scm file,

        (list (channel
                (name 'guix)
                (url "https://home/path/to/your/local/checkout/of/guix";)
                (branch "master"))
              (channel …)

then,

    guix time-machine -C channels.scm \
         -- system build /etc/guix/configuration.scm

It is another way without using “guix shell -D guix”, ./bootstrap,
./configure and make.  Well, it depends on what you are patching. :-)
