No, but I'd imagine it would not work out great, because the source is
a git checkout in /gnu/store, which is read-only and it is compiled in-
place.

I'm looking mostly at the contents of ext/ here, which has stuff we
already package, like cityhash among others.  A bit of context is given
in the unbundling snippet I use for glslang and spirv-cross, which I've
managed to unbundle, but the rest are not pulled in as submodules, so
it would require a `guix build --source` and manual analysis to sift
through all that.  
I don't think a less vague comment could improve this understanding
without risking to be invalidated at some point in the future.  Perhaps
I could clarify, that it's "mostly ext/", but even that is not
completely true, since upstream also has ffmpeg as a toplevel submodule
(which I don't pull in, instead using the flags they already provide
for using system ffmpeg).

To be fair, that's where I copied it from – I think I already mentioned
that.  I just updated the version and added some details in the comment
regarding failing tests and hence added my updated patch.  I also think
this description to be quite weird, but at the same time am unsure on
how to better rephrase it.  I will send an updated version of it once I
do come up with something better than just dropping the "NOTE:" part.
