Are you using a linux module package with #:linux some-linux-via-an-
inferior? If so, the likely cause is this code from (guix build-system
linux-module):

(define* (lower [...])
  [...]
  ,@(package-native-inputs linux)
  [...])

Currently, inferior packages aren't packages, so this fails with

In procedure %package-native-inputs-real: Wrong type argument:
> #<inferior-package linux@5.14.15 7fc8055619f0>

The solution would be to use inferior-package-native-inputs when linux
is an inferior package. (Search for inferior-package? in the source
code.)
