There’s no actual error message here.  Could you look for the full log
under /nix/var/log/nix/drvs, and check if there’s an error message
somewhere above?  (It may have been built with ‘make -jX’, so the output
is intermingled.)

Normally it should be using pre-compiled binaries from hydra.gnu.org by
default.

What do you have in /nix/var/nix/substitute-binary/cache?

That version does not exist; that’s what Guile ‘master’ calls itself,
but you’d rather use 2.0.9 or 2.0.7 for now.

That said it doesn’t explain the build problem above.

Thanks for your report!
