guix gc “should” not make a difference, except sometimes software like
Icecat addons do embed store paths in user profiles. Then guix gc
breaks these.

This “building guix from source” you suggest is a good escape hatch!
Oh yeah, sorry to hear of these troubles. Old versions of Guix had one
important difference for example: The “builtin:git-download” builtin
builder for git downloads got added into the guix-daemon. Therefore,
whether a guix-daemon with/without this feature is running changes
the derivation hash, therefore substitutes do not fit anymore.

gnu: guix: Update to d0438fc.
This adds the “builtin:git-download” derivation builder to guix-daemon,
added in commit 13b0cf85eb31e1b1ea674debbbfb0f35a32d1374.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (guix): Update to d0438fc.
