Just to follow up, I got a bit further by changing the =TMPDIR= to a
directory in my home directory. I'm using guix on a foreign distro so I
just did a quick edit on the systemd service file:

#+begin_src shell
mkdir /home/plattfot/scratch
sudo systemctl stop guix-daemon.service
sudo systemctl edit guix-daemon.service
#+end_src

#+begin_src conf
[Service]
Environment=TMPDIR=/home/plattfot/scratch
#+end_src

#+begin_src shell
sudo systemctl start guix-daemon.service
#+end_src

It now fails when building the info-dir

#+begin_src shell
building directory of Info manuals...

#+end_src

The build log is empty, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Sadly that's all the time I have for this today. I'll see if I can find
some time during the rest of week, otherwise I'll continue on the
weekend.

NOTE: to undo the changes on the service file you can simply run:
#+begin_src shell
sudo systemctl revert guix-daemon.service
#+end_src
