Rather (guix download).

The dependency on gzip can be removed.
Also, the second derivation is okay, but kind of wasteful: it only
serves to move the file in a directory so the patch-application logic
can work.
However, I’m unsure the patch in question really belongs here. After
all, there’s just one file, and additionally it’s called ‘constants.el’!

This is too terse, and I feel like the patch really does upstream work.
It seems that the file has a new home (or is it just a mirror?) at
https://github.com/emacsmirror/constants/blob/master/constants.el
Is the patch yours? If yes, could you find an upstream to submit it
too? If there’s no such thing, you could always become the upstream.
;-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
