Indeed, thanks for pointing out.

I tried and it failed with

        starting phase `configure'
        source directory: "/tmp/guix-build-emacs-dev-26.0.91.drv-0/source" 
(relative from build: ".")
        build directory: "/tmp/guix-build-emacs-dev-26.0.91.drv-0/source"
        configure flags: 
("CONFIG_SHELL=/gnu/store/icz3hd36aqpjz5slyp4hhr8wsfbgiml1-bash-minimal-4.4.12/bin/bash"
 
"SHELL=/gnu/store/icz3hd36aqpjz5slyp4hhr8wsfbgiml1-bash-minimal-4.4.12/bin/bash"
 "--prefix=/gnu/store/iaipasvi8dys79ms3y0axvwwdfnd31dq-emacs-dev-26.0.91" 
"--enable-fast-install" "--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu")
        configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-fast-install
        ./configure: line 3350: config.log: Permission denied
        ./configure: line 3360: config.log: Permission denied
        phase `configure' failed after 0.1 seconds

I inspected the content of
"/tmp/guix-build-emacs-dev-26.0.91.drv-0/source": many files are
missing, among others "configure".

I am very confused...
