Well it did build indeed! And now I have a working LibreOffice in the 
store. Tested briefly, works without a hitch so far.

Unrelated, but maybe you could advise me as I'm just starting to study 
Guix deeply:

Have I somehow "poluted" the environment via the pull of the 
wip-libreoffice tar? I'm asking this as I see a different behavior now 
with `guix package -d' and `-i' for other packages now than before, and 
a lot of building from source. Also `# guix gc' will delete as garbage a 
derivation of tar, bzip2, and module-import, and `# guix pull' spends a 
long time building these from source. And thus in a circle.

What can I do about this?
