So your derivation tries to use =E2=80=98foobar-build=E2=80=99 on the build=
 side?  That
sounds weird.

In general, build systems only import (guix build =E2=80=A6) modules on the
build side; things like (guix build-system =E2=80=A6) modules (not to be
confused!) are meant to be used on the host side.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
