I used a modified guix-install.sh for the void testing (I'll submit
the modifications) but not for the others. I'll do future testing
with it, as it is the recommended way to setup guix on a foreign
distro.

BTW, how would I test that (modified guix-install + nix/local.mk) ?

I've modified guix-install to handle runit-based distros (for void
linux) and nix/local.mk, like in the sysv-init enablement Danny
submitted lately.

I've seen the rebuild instructions at the end of binary installation
page in the manual, but I couldn't make that take my local
modifications in account. I think there's some required steps
that are only made by the release make target.

I want to test, at least once before submitting my patch series
for review. Even if I think it would be nice-to-have for the 1.1.0...

Yes, that's also possible, how would I check / ensure that ?

Hopefully.
