I believe for package definitions
* known triggers for unhelpful error messages should get more graceful
error messages,
* there should be no fixed truncation of error messages and
* there could perhaps be more tooling like single-stepping through the
build process.
For example in <https://issues.guix.info/issue/35640> I got an
unhelpful error message:
[ 11%] LOAD guix/scripts/search.scm
[ 11%] LOAD guix/scripts/gc.scm
[ 11%] LOAD guix/scripts/hash.scm
[ 11%] LOAD guix/scripts/pack.scm

I wished it had been possible to step (or reverse-step) through the
build process like in gdb for C programs, but I presume this might be
too difficult to realize for now (?).
Then the following was a non-obvious error I got when building an
earlier revision of usb-modeswitch-data because I used #:modules (=E2=80=A6
(guix packages)) in the arguments to the trivial-build-system of
usb-modeswitch-data.

When I did `./pre-inst-env guix lint usb-modeswitch-data`, it did not
find the error either.
