It does not fail because of a patch which does not apply. The patch
applies, the errors aren't fixed. I haven't applied it in my NixOS or
Gentoo systems, but I doubt that the results will differ.

There are instructions in the Guix manual on how you can run GuixSD in a
VM[0]. All you need to do afterwards is cd to the svn/gnunet/ directory of
the svn checkout and run "guix build -f guix-env.scm".

This will give you the exact same build environment I have.
If the instructions are not clear, or you encounter problems, contact
me. In general this would be a bug on the guix-env.scm file, so it would
be okay to discuss this here too, to solve what's broken with it.

You can do this without the VM and just Guix, but you asked for the VM
way.
