I did this on GuixSD:
stopped the daemon: sudo deco stop guix-daemon
started the daemon again manually with --cache-failures

Get the package list:
guix package -A|pick the first field with cut/gawk >list

Then a bash for-loop along the lines of:
for $i in `cat list` ; echo "building $i" && do guix build $i 
--verbosity=1 -c 2 1<&2 build.log ; done

Then follow the build with:
tail -F build.log

Sounds like a good idea. I would prefer if guix build to be able to 
instruct the daemon to cache failures if possible.
