I forgot two details:

 - I tried building python-2.7.12 using --fallback. This fails because 
one of the tests (test_pty) fails.

 - Under another user account, I still have a working guix profile 
because I hardly ever update it. I'd like to avoid breaking it, and 
therefore avoid the brute-force approach of re-doing the binary install 
procedure.
