bug#49145: Cannot build Guix (Texinfo failure)

[Julien Lepiller]

Something seems to have gone wrong with the i18n code. Maybe we use something that's not recognized by your shell? Can you try again, but this time configure and make in a pure environment? (Add --pure to the guix environment invocation).

Hello,

I have been trying to build Guix from source (in order to contribute a new 
package), but the `make` step fails every time. I am on Void Linux (glibc) and 
I have checked out commit  d027858e70c4a37aca90b1d4ecb2f0421a95d987.

Here are the steps I took after checking out the repo:

    guix environment guix
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure --localstatedir=/var
    make

The error messages are all complaining to that cross-references in Texinfo 
cannot be resolved. I have attached the full log. I already tried with a 
freshly checked out repository, and with both a pure Guix environment and a 
regular one.

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago, and I don't know if the issue is 
related to my distribution. Please let me know if you need any more 
information.
