GTK? Interesting. Could you share your package profile (guix package -I) 
and config.scm?

I run GuixSD 0.15 in Qemu on a 10GB cow. The attached config.scm and the 
following packages consumes ~3.2GB space in the store:
sdb@komputilo ~/guix-tree [env]$ guix package -I |awk '{ print $1 " " $2 }'
openssh 7.7p1
nss 3.36.1
file 5.32
wget 1.19.5
git 2.18.0
git:send-email 2.18.0
guile-readline 2.2.3
emacs-guix 0.4.1.1
emacs-no-x 26.1
tree 1.7.0
emacs-paredit 24
geiser 0.10
magit 2.13.0
emacs-yasnippet 0.12.2
recutils 1.7

I never had to build anything. All substitutes needed have been available.
