This produces a log file in .bz2 compressed archive. First I thought bzip2 
is not there, but then I found it is just not linked into any PATH.

But you are probably right, as the qcow is already 1.5GB.
df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory

df /dev/sda1 confirms there is not much space left, it is then pretty hard 
to use guix when there is not a plenty of space to compile. It could be I 
first tried to build packages as user and it consumed additional space.

I started with "clean" qcow again...

I think it gets stuck for the same reason as any other build - not enought 
space, because the load of the system was 0
guix pull on a clean qcow ends with
 guix pull: error: build failed: build of 
`/gnu/store/ffixc7nqdf5rlydkzi9bv5ylx9y8blh0-guix-latest.drv' failed

 guix build --log-file 
/gnu/store/ffixc7nqdf5rlydkzi9bv5ylx9y8blh0-guix-latest.drv
 accepted connection from pid 13623, uid 0
 guix build: error: no build log for 
'/gnu/store/ffixc7nqdf5rlydkzi9bv5ylx9y8blh0-guix-latest.drv'
 1 operations

As everything remains on the disk it looks to me like it is building with
"keep build tree of failed builds"
guix gc cleaned it up.. right? but no clue what gets wrong this time.

However I am probably doomed to not get this rolling.

Of course, as soon I am not drowning myself.

Thank you anyway.
