Seeing this discussion just now, you'll probably want to take a look at
the series I've been working on which addresses this (at least I hope
so, reviews on the source-only bootstrapping welcome!).

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49946#215

I still need to work on it and address feedback, however I've not had
any time for Guix the last couple of months.

Hope this helps avoid work duplication! If people need this work in
sonner than later and I'm not able to see it through in time, I'm happy
for someone else to pick it up. Although hopefully I'll have some time
next weekend.

Thanks!
Pierre
