Sadly it's the part that exposes one of the most obvious issues:
guix-devel-build-package-definition ("C-c . b") chokes Geiser and hangs
Emacs.

Obviously, having a REPL would be fantastic.  But I don't know how to
fix these issues with Geiser, it seems pretty tough.

For the lack of a better option, building outside Geiser seems to be a
sane fix.

Cheers!
