The ideal situation is that substitutes for these packages are
available, and you don't have to build them.
Using current Guix master branch, I receive a substitute for
libreoffice. Maybe you just need to update, with `guix pull`?
In general, if you want to compile software, there will be some programs
that require a lot of computer to compile. Not even 10 GB RAM will be
enough in all cases.
