Subject: 'guix-build' returns 'unknown package', Bison's testsuite fails

Hi,
I'm trying to package 'gobject-introspection', but I'm facing some
problems:
1. 'guix-build' doesn't work for new packages; it returns
"<package>: unknown package." I'm using the '-e' option as a
workaround, but it's not very convenient.
For instance, if I copy the recipe for 'sed' to 'newsed.scm', then
replace 'sed' with 'newsed' in that file, and try to build it via
'guix-build newsed', it will return the mentioned error message.
However, it will work if I use the '-e' option. Also, I won't get
any errors if I try to import it in the REPL.
2. Bison's testsuite fails and I'm not able to fix it. So I'd like to
disable it because I want to test 'gobject-introspection'. Why
doesn't '(arguments `(#:tests? #f))' disable the testsuite?
These issues may seem unrelated, but there is a similarity: My changes
have no effect. I've just replaced 'gnu/packages/bison.scm' with an
empty file, but 'guix-build bison' doesn't raise any errors. Is it
related?
Nikita
