I've tested your definition, and it seems the problem is unrelated to
the suggested bug report after all.  The issue appears to be adding the
current directory (presumably of your guix checkout) to the load path
with 'L .'; this somehow interferes with Guix's own loading/discovery
mechanism and fails with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build: warning: failed to load '(build-aux build-self)':
no code for module (build-aux build-self)
./build-aux/build-self.scm:19:0: warning: module name (build-self) does not match file name 'build-aux/bu'
hint: File `./build-aux/build-self.scm' should probably start with:

     (define-module (build-aux build-self))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

One way out would be to move your package to somewhere else:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mkdir -p /tmp/avizo

mv avizo.scm /tmp/avizo

$ guix build -L /tmp/avizo avizo
/gnu/store/kv6ycqqxv2xqq3kxa9lmv9aczravs5cp-avizo-1.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Alternatively, you could return the package object at the end of your
avizo.scm file, then build it more simply with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build -f avizo.scm
/gnu/store/kv6ycqqxv2xqq3kxa9lmv9aczravs5cp-avizo-1.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I hope that helps!

Thanks,

Maxim
