You described the problem very clearly, IMO. As “it”, I meant that line
from PKGBUILD.

Using pacman or abs, you mean? Can you build it from source by hand on
Guix?

Did you apply it while attempting to build hwinfo by hand?

As for your Guix package definition, I can see some substitution there.
I would try CFLAGS. Maybe you will find inspiration in the existing Guix
packages:

I’m not sure if anyone there is going to be excited about working on an
issue which is Guix-specific. Some months ago, someone on this list
wrote “don’t bother upstream”.
