Hi Ludo,
This bug report is independent with the recommendation for building
Guix. I consider this current behaviour as a bug: Network on,
guix shell <whatever-options> -D guix
./bootstrap
./configure
then network off,
make check
fails. I do not mind if the data (pre-seed the store) has to be
downloaded at “guix shell -D guix” step, or at ./bootstrap step or at
./configure step.
It would be better to have all the requirements downloaded with “guix
shell -D guix” though. Well, it was that my expectation just before
preparing my offline day. :-)

Therefore, this is not a fix for this bug #67532, IMHO.
Maybe for bug#66537 (see below).

Well, let discuss that as an answer of,
bug#66537: [PATCH] doc: Recommend building in ‘guix shell -CPW’.
