For me pulling from this channel with subsequent

$ guix build guile@3.0.99-git

throws an error ("No such file or directory" "GUILE-VERSION"). However,

$ GUILE_LOAD_PATH= guix build guile@3.0.99-git

, which emulates system without [1] in Guile load path, works like a charm.
Thus, this repository behaves exactly as does the main branch of [2].

Perhaps many systems (e.g. Guix on foreign distributions) indeed does not
have [1] in Guile load path, and thus recipe from the Cookbook works for them.
