AFAICS, ‘channel-build-system’ requires at least the ‘guix’ channel, but
it can also be passed additional channels via #:channels.

Did that not work for you?  How did you get the error you mentioned?

As always, one cannot just build one channel: you always have to have
the ‘guix’ channel together with the other channels you care about.

HTH,
