You can run a container in a freshly compiled source tree. I do that
all the time. I don't normally use guix pull. Example using a D compiler

  ~/guix-master/pre-inst-env guix environment -C guix --ad-hoc ldc clang llvm 
unzip gdb ncurses vim git make cmake which less tzdata binutils
  rm -rf CMakeFiles CMakeCache.txt
  cmake .
  make clean
  make -j 24
