Just read the script. I think this is actually the hard way of doing it and 'guix pull' should not work if you are not on /gnu/store.
How about using proot (Ludo has some info here) and to bootstrap guix instead with guix and configure the build system like https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#building-gnu-guix-from-source-using-guix That way you get a reproducible build environment and then build guix in a non-root path. I have not tried this yet, but I can try it this weekend (I am on the road right now). Pj.
