Yes, that’s fine.

It turns out that hydra.gnu.org is not (yet) serving pre-built binaries
for this branch, so you ended up rebuilding the world, including doing a
complete bootstrap of the distro (info "(guix) Bootstrapping").
I realize this is terribly inconvenient, so apologies for that!
I hope we can soon merge the changes to the “core” packages in the
‘core-updates’ branch, and have ‘wip-hurd’ contain only very specific
patches. That way, most of the things will have pre-built binaries
available on hydra.gnu.org.

The simplest way is to use the --with-source option of ‘guix build’,
which allows you to specify an alternate source tarball (info "(guix)
Invoking guix build").
Now, from a discussion we had on IRC, I think the problem reported at
the beginning of this thread is fixed. Manolis, can you confirm?
Also, I think the target should be 4.9 or 4.8, but definitely not 4.7.
