I haven't been able to build guix from a local checkout lately:

$ git describe --match=v'*'
v1.0.1-13415-g0557618dbe
$ git clean -dfx
$ guix environment --pure guix
[env]$ ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j4 check
++ find po/doc -type f -name 'guix-manual*.po'
...

This has been several days at least, haven't tried to bisect the
issue... I've heard that some people can't reproduce it...

"guix pull" from the same commit works fine, but obviously takes a lot
more CPU and human cycles to run guix pull every change I want to test.


live well,
