This changes appears to break building my tree, like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
help2man: can't get `--help' info from guix home
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make[2]: [Makefile:7131 : doc/guix-home.1] Erreur 1 (ignorée)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It doesn't happen with 'make as-derivation' though, so it seems to have
to do with some shenanigan in my checkout.  Any idea how I could fix my
checkout without running 'git clean -xfdd' ?

I had the same issue in my local checkout, but it was because of another
change I committed that was then reverted: it changed the <user-account>
ABI, and so a lot more files had to get recompiled.  You can try to
manually run `guix home --help` and see what the error is, if it's an
ABI error I usually run `grep -Rl "<user-account>" --include '*.go' . |
xargs rm`.

Best,

Thank you for the answer; I had forgotten asking here and eventually
found out the problem by manually running the command as you did :-).

Thanks,
