I have a local package with a compile script that I need to add to our local GUIX packages.

I tried to use trivial-build-system with gcc-toolchain input, all works well when I compile it manually in a 'guix shell'
Because ‘guix shell’ sets up a proper profile; quite unlike the trivial-build-system.
Using trivial-build-system here *is* the bug. It's not a starter kit for building better things; it's for trivial packages that don't need building.
Rather than waste your time fighting that fact, use the gnu-build-system. It is that starter kit.
If your tarball doesn't provide some standard GNU things like ./configure or ‘make check’, that's quite common. You can simply (delete 'configure), set #:tests? #f, etc.
Happy building, T G-R Sent from a Web browser. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
