Thanks to both of you I can now at least get the configure script to run, but
it stops because it cannot find `cat`:

okay, looks like you have everything we need. generating config files.
writing config.mk...
./configure: line 210: cat: command not found

Here is my package definition (irrelevant parts omitted):
(package
(name "roundup")
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(replace 'configure
(lambda* (#:key inputs outputs (configure-flags '()) #:allow-other-
keys)
(let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))
(apply invoke
`("./configure"
,(string-append "--prefix=" out)
,(string-append "--sysconfdir=/etc")
,@configure-flags)))))))))
From my understanding, `cat` is part of coreutils, which is already an
implicit input of the GNU build system. So the configure script should have
it, shouldn't it?
On a related tangent: it looks like a phase is just a function which takes
arbitrary keyword-arguments, right? Is this documented somewhere or is it
"read the source code"? And what exactly are `outputs` and `inputs`? It looks
like they are association lists where the keys are names and the values are
directories.
