If I were to go about it I would try to get the build log from each
package:
guix build --no-grafts -e '(@@ (gnu packages rust) rust-bootstrap)' \
    --log-file

and then I'd add up the build and test phases to get a rough estimate.

For an approximate answer, the build farm runs 4 builds per machine,
with 8 cores per build (all of this is in the guix-maintenance repo I
think). When I build from mrustc to rust-1.60 on my machine with 24
cores it currently takes about 2 hours for rust-bootstrap (1.54) and
then about 30-45 minutes each other version.

I don't remember the bug number offhand, but there's work being done to
speed up the process. The last time I ran though the test build I built
from rust-1.55 to librsvg in 171 minutes.
