The ones missing seem to be the sources used to bootstrap GCC and Guile 
(there might be a couple of false positives in that list, because: I 
added these one by one to the list after "hello" by using the wildcard 
/gnu/store/*-$i.drv, until guix build inside the VM stopped indicating 
missing dependencies):

binutils-2.23.2.tar.xz
bison-3.0.4.tar.xz
gc-7.6.4.tar.gz
gcc-4.8.2.tar.xz
glibc-2.18.tar.xz
guile-2.0.9.tar.xz
gcc-4.9.4.tar.xz
gettext-0.19.8.1.tar.gz
gmp-6.1.2.tar.xz
guile-2.2.3.tar.xz
libatomic_ops-7.6.4.tar.gz
libffi-3.2.1.tar.gz
libtool-2.4.6.tar.xz
libunistring-0.9.9.tar.xz
m4-1.4.18.tar.xz
perl-5.26.1.tar.gz
pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz
static-binaries.tar.xz
texinfo-6.5.tar.xz
zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz

Note that when I run guix build --check hello inside a VM created from 
a minimal configuration, it tries to build much more than just hello 
(e.g. GCC, Guile, …), whereas if I run it on my Guix host, it simply 
rebuilds hello and nothing else.

Thanks :)
