Nevermind my previous message, it was --sysconfdir that had not been
set, thus ignoring my offload setup (/etc/guix/machines.scm).  The
command worked to test the change from the local machine:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo -E ./pre-inst-env ./guix-daemon --build-users-group guixbuild \
 --max-silent-time 0 --timeout 0 --log-compression none --discover=yes \
 --substitute-urls "https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org" \
 --max-jobs=4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I pushed the fix in commit 53d718f61b.

Closing, thank you!
