Hi,

(CCing guix-devel because I'm confused about this and more eyes can't
hurt)

Should this be a patch to the build-system?  Although maybe it's not
that simple: https://ctan.org/texarchive/macros/xetex/latex/polyglossia
lists four files, incuding an "ins" file.

I tried patching the README path as Ricardo suggested.  This got
somewhere, complaining of missing fonts, so I added texlive-fonts-cm
to native-inputs.  With both these changes, the build now fails while
trying to build example-thai.tex, and the errors appear to indicate
trying to build a LaTeX file with plain TeX:

Processing file polyglossia.dtx (example-thai.tex) -> example-thai.tex
File polyglossia.dtx ended by \endinput.

(and more...)

I'm not that familiar with the intricacies of properly building TeXLive
from source, but the difference between the file list on CTAN and what
comes from the Subversion repo via texlive-ref smells fishy to me.  If I
manually run any permutation of  `{xe,lua}tex polyglossia.{ins,dtx}`
it mostly seems to build OK, but to my surprise no polyglossia.sty
is produced!  There's no actual build instructions in the README or the
polyglossia.pdf, so I'm rather lost here.

Thanks,
