I think "guix environment guix" should drop you into an environment
where the guix package's inputs are available, regardless of what
version of the daemon you're using.  What matters most is the guix
package definition, since it determines the inputs.

Of course, using a version of guix (the package definition, or the
supporting Guile code) that is far removed in time from the Guix source
you're trying to compile will make it less likely to succeed.  I recall
having quite a hard time trying to compile Guix 0.14.0 from source using
a "guix environment guix" environment that was built by a Guix from an
old version, something around 0.10.0 or so.  Too much changed.

Likewise, using a guix-daemon from sufficiently far in the past or
future (compared to the guix client-side code you're running) might also
cause problems.  However, since the guix-daemon and the protocols it
uses change less frequently, it's less likely to cause problems.

Glad to hear you got it working!
