I found this thread, but that's about the warning, not the actual cause 
of failure, AFAICS:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2018-06/msg00277.html

Thanks for handling the previous issues so quickly!

Hi Thorsten,

This is an upstream problem that i’ve reported upstream:

    https://github.com/openAVproductions/openAV-Sorcer/issues/22

We cannot build the sources with either of the Faust releases, so
there’s little we can do on our end.

The sorcer Faust code looks *very* simple, though, so it may not be too
difficult to write the DSP code in Faust 2 and submit it upstream.

OK, thanks. Good that you brought it upstream, but a bit unfortunate 
that there wasn't an issue in debbugs.

Is there a policy regarding known unbuildable packages? Perhaps there 
could be a mechanism that would spare users from attempting to have the 
un-buildable build, which may involve stopping a `guix package -u` or a 
`guix package -m manifest-file` in its tracks ...

As on Guix 1dce887, sorcer is available from both bordeaux or berlin, so
it appears to build fine.

Closing.
