14.1 Building from Git

[mikadoZero]

I am trying to follow the instruction in the Contributing section of the
manual, as I want to submit some patches.  Following "14.1 Building from
Git" I am getting an error when running `./bootstrap`.

`guix describe`
guix 19c0cdb
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 19c0cdb9e6271956015232421ef7f63a1ad001ae

Here is what I am doing that leads to the error.

`git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git`

`cd guix`

`guix environment guix`

Then I run `./bootstrap` and it gives me this error output:

+ exec autoreconf -vfi
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
