You're trying the right thing, but it doesn't work because our package-serving infrastructure didn't quite get there.
Part of the idea was that the package-build service could provide built versions of packages, and then you could install them from binary mode, but built packages have not yet been made available that way. The main-distribution's catalog does provide built versions of packages in the main distribution. Other packages are currently only available in source form --- at least from our servers --- and that's incompatible with a binary install. (Also, the current error message is not good.) If you have the package installed somewhere, you could extract a built version of the package using `raco pkg create --from-install`, and then install the built package in `--binary-lib` mode on your target environment. More generally, you could script the process of extracting built packages and assembling them into a catalog. A tool like that might be useful to others, too.
