In general, when making changes to the kernel configuration, you need to
use the interactive configuration system provided by the kernel build
system.  The reason is that many options have dependencies: if you set
CONFIG_FOO=y, CONFIG_BAR might also need to be y.

Using the configuration system ensures these dependencies are handled
properly.  Here is one way to do that on Guix:

$ tar -xf $(guix build -S linux-libre) -C /tmp
$ cd /tmp/linux-libre-5.2.13
$ guix environment linux-libre --ad-hoc ncurses
$ cp /your/guix/checkout/gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/5.2-x86_64.conf 
.config
$ make oldconfig
$ make nconfig
$ cp .config 
/your/guix/checkout/gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/5.2-x86_64.conf

I don't have time to go into more details right now, but hope this helps!
