Unless I'm missing some other commit, this won't work.

When I perform these steps:
1] ./configure && make && sudo make install (or package installation)
2] mkdir /gnu/store
3] attempt to start daemon will fail as there is no guix-daemon in
   @localstatedir@/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon
   because there is no guix-daemon in /gnu/store

Without daemon running you won't be able to make one in that location.

Dead end.
