I was trying to build emacs on a debian + guix system today. The
debian is bare minimum, and guix is used as the main package
manager.
Without `guix shell`, I got stuck at problem with gnutls:

The version of gnutls installed by guix in the system is 3.6.15.
With `guix shell --development emacs`, gnutls wasn't a problem,
but I got stuck at segfault at bootstrap-emacs.pdmp:
> make[1]: *** [Makefile:858: bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Segmentation
> fault
> make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/foo/source/emacs/src'
> make: *** [Makefile:450: src] Error 2
On an Arch system where I used to be able to build emacs, it
doesn't build either, and the error is about Recursive load in
international/mule-cmds.el. I haven't looked into this error
because it is a slow system and I'd rather build emacs on the
debian + guix system.
