As discussed on IRC, I can confirm ed5dc3a25d858a394bb7db937a51d866c3cdc6ed 
is causing this for me.  When I revert it before `make update-guix-package',
then the build phase of `./pre-inst-env guix build guix (x86_64)
succeeds.

Completely unrelated but sadly, the check phase fails

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
FAIL: tests/packages.scm
FAIL: tests/store-roots.scm
FAIL: tests/texlive.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so I'm skipping those patches for now on hurd-team.

Greetings,
Janneke
