From the manual (2.5):
"When the daemon performs a build on behalf of the user, it creates a
build directory under /tmp or under the directory specified by its
TMPDIR environment variable."

If you are on a foreign distro, you can add
export TMPDIR="/yourBigAndFastDisk"
to the init/start script of the guix-daemon.

If you are on a guix system (or guix generated vm etc), you can add
(service guix-service-type
         (guix-configuration
           (tmpdir "/yourBigAndFastDisk")))

to your services.
