I created a procedure to work around the build failure and enable a
successful build:


# when gnutls-3.6.12 build breaks you need to do:
# run the following as root
# turn off networking
ip link set enp0s25 down
# Fixup the time so that the build will succeed
timedatectl set-ntp false
timedatectl set-time '2020-10-01'
# Try to build but it will absolutely fail by lack of source if you
# don't enable networking or because you enable networking.
# But turn on networking when specified below
guix time-machine --commit=94585fffb23079fe71110e2bf99782eb4ccfa12b --
# build --no-grafts --check guile3.0-gnutls
# after it finishes building
# /gnu/store/vhphki5sg9xkdhh2pbc8gi6vhpfzryf0-gnutls-3.6.12.drv
# and starts building
# /gnu/store/akm0wl58avib46g3d9razlfzfgfg8m6m-python-3.8.2.drv...
# but before it begins building
# /gnu/store/bja7gqzxr62a0akid0rpzmynzy78nkwg-zstd-1.4.4.tar.gz.drv.
# Fix the time and turn on networking as it has additional things to
# download.
# specifically
# https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/download/v1.4.4/zstd-1.4.4.tar.gz
# and substitutes for some reason
# failing to do so will result in you needing to repeat the above steps
# again.
timedatectl set-time '$current_date'
timedatectl set-ntp true
# turn on networking
ip link set enp0s25 up
# it'll fail building because the time is current again
# But that is fine, we now will not need networking for this build cycle
# and thus the altered time will be fine and the build will be
# successful this time
# turn off networking
ip link set enp0s25 down
# Fixup the time so that the build will succeed
timedatectl set-ntp false
timedatectl set-time '2020-10-01'
#guix build gnutls <at> 3.6.12 finally
guix time-machine --commit=94585fffb23079fe71110e2bf99782eb4ccfa12b --
# build --no-grafts --check guile3.0-gnutls
# wait until it completes.
# Then we can put the system back in a working state
timedatectl set-time '$current_date'
timedatectl set-ntp true
# turn on networking
ip link set enp0s25 up
