Another option, depending on your needs, is to have your Jenkins job
build the thing for you.  Let’s say you want to build Emacs from a
checkout, your Jenkins job could run:

  guix build emacs --with-source=./emacs

where ./emacs contains a checkout of Emacs.

If, in addition, your build machine runs ‘guix publish’, then you can
get binaries from there.

HTH!
