Arf, here's what it throws, after adding the missing polkit export:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build  -s aarch64-linux gnome-control-center -n
guix build: error: gnu/packages/gnome.scm:5299:2: package 
`colord-minimal@1.4.5' has an invalid input: ("polkit" #<syntax-transformer 
polkit>)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't see how it's different from pkg-config... Ideas?

Mostly, after applying fixes from jpoiret for GDM icons I believe
(thanks!); I'll also have to debug why my GDM-less desktop won't allow
me to login anymore (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52051).

Thank you!
