``%build-inputs'' is an **obsolete** variable that provides an
alist of inputs to output paths:
`(("gcc" . "/gnu/store/...-gcc-...")
("make" . "/gnu/store/...-make-...")
("tcl" . "/gnu/store/...-tcl-...")
("tk" . "/gnu/store/...-tk-..."))
et cetera. So, it should just contain a map of the label of each
input to its compiled store path.
Usage of ``(assoc-ref %build-inputs LABEL)'' is basically the same
as usage of ``#$(this-package-input LABEL)'' or
``#$(this-package-input LABEL)''.
Regarding the debugging question: no, I don't believe there is a
way to start a REPL in the build environment.
