bug#51259: Cannot build Guix from source (error messages about the translations)

[Julien Lepiller]

Arg, I don't get why you get that one… I'll see what I can find. In the meantime, you can build the rest of guix locally with "make make-go", which doesn't depend on the manuals, although you won't be able to push with the prepush hook.

Since it seems this is due to the lack of the LC_ALL variable in the
pure environment, how about the attached patch?

With the attached patch on top of master (c650160abb), the build fails with 
messages similar to this one:
./doc/guix.de.texi:158: @ref reference to nonexistent node `Translating Guix'

I attached the build logs.

I used the following to build, to make sure to start from a clean tree:
git clean -ffdx && guix environment guix --pure --ad-hoc help2man git strace -- 
sh -c './bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make' | tee build.log
Kind regards,
