Why would the missing pkg.m4 be a problem? It’s only used when
bootstrapping Autoconf-based packages.
Right. If you want to bootstrap an autoconf based package (for example, guix-devel from package-management.scm),
then it will fail.
(And if it’s really needed, it’s easy to add that symlink.)
Of course it exists!
I thought that whilst bulding things were in a chroot jail where only those things explicitly declared as inputs
actually existed.
