I tried to use trivial-build-system with

it manually in a 'guix shell'
Because ‘guix shell’ sets up a proper profile; quite unlike the
trivial-build-system.
Using trivial-build-system here *is* the bug. It's not a starter kit
for building better things; it's for trivial packages that don't need
building.
Rather than waste your time fighting that fact, use the
gnu-build-system. It is that starter kit.
If your tarball doesn't provide some standard GNU things like
./configure or ‘make check’, that's quite common. You can simply
(delete 'configure), set #:tests? #f, etc.
