You mean the project's license is not part of this list [1], right?
[1] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
Otherwise, I do not have the answer for your question. :-)

Does the '#' at the beginning mean that your are running as root?
Well, I find easier 1/ to log in as 'emederna' user and 2/ to run
guix build -L ~/src/packages asiofi

>From my understanding, there are 3 "issues":
a) instead of create a full new package for libfabric, you could
update the Guix one or use 'inherit', e.g., (not tested)
(define-public my-libfabric
(inherit libfabric
(version "X.Y")
(source blablabla)))
b) missing '#t' to the phase 'add-before'
c) missing the package 'pkg-config', i.e.,
#:use-module (gnu packages pkg-config)
and
("pkgconfig" ,pkg-config)
in the list of inputs.
Now, it seems compiling on my machine. :-)
Hope that helps.
