I cannot reproduce it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ timeout -s INT 2s guix build hello --no-grafts --check -K -v1
The following derivation will be built:
  /gnu/store/f0sgfzr1za0mnnm6bk9qiqkyapdby7bv-hello-2.12.2.drv

building /gnu/store/f0sgfzr1za0mnnm6bk9qiqkyapdby7bv-hello-2.12.2.drv...
\ 'configure' phase
$ ls -ld /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0/
drwxr-xr-x 3 ludo users 100  8 juil. 09:58 /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0/
$ sudo herd status guix-daemon |grep Command
  Command: /gnu/store/l7dp21l1p6hal8hiky44csll9vd9f1j5-guix-1.4.0-39.95d8845/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group guixbuild --max-silent-time 3600 --timeout 86400 --log-compression gzip --discover=yes --substitute-urls "https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr" --cache-failures
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there something else at play?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
