Nothing happens, it does not recompile with 'guix build' and the directory
does not exist:

# guix build $(guix gc --derivers
/gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02)
# ls /gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02
ls: cannot access /gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02:
No such file or directory

# guix build .. ROOT-6.20
;;; note: source file ..../ROOT.scm
;;;       newer than compiled ..../ROOT.scm.go
/gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02
# ls /gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02
ls: cannot access /gnu/store/rj2ir3hmaanvwwvyy6d1a1qv0f0xp537-ROOT-6.20.02:
No such file or directory

Thanks for your help
