This is odd.  The Makefile only adds this option on MacOS:

    MACOS = 0
    ifneq (,$(findstring Darwin,$(shell uname)))
            MACOS = 1
            ifneq (,$(findstring 13,$(shell uname -r)))
                    CPP = clang++
                    CC = clang
                    EXTRA_FLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++
            endif
    endif

Whether or not a platform is 64-bit is determined with uname.  Both
these errors relate to using uname.

Is it not available at build time?

I can build the package just fine with:

    guix build -S bowtie
    ...
    guix enviroment --pure bowtie
    make
