You get the error above when running =E2=80=9Cmake=E2=80=9D, which in turn =
runs
build-aux/download.scm, right?

If so, I think this can be worked around with:

However, the whole point of /etc/services is so that application writers
don=E2=80=99t have to hard-code port number everywhere.  So I=E2=80=99d be =
tempted to
say this is not a bug.

WDYT?
