Hello,

I am trying to write a Guix package but I have to add a build phase to 
the gnu build system.

I have the following package scm:

(use-modules
  (guix packages)
  (guix git-download)
  (guix licenses)
  (guix profiles)
  (guix build-system gnu)
  (guix build-system python)
  (guix build utils))


(package
  (name "crosstool-ng")
  (version "1.26.0")
  (source (origin
           (method git-fetch)
           (uri (git-reference
                 (url "https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng.git")
                 (commit (string-append "crosstool-ng-" version))))
           (sha256
            (base32
"04z7zwhxfbjqrd4j16lviilppsd8phwi8zv2rs4jpkmqni6856j1")
            )
           ))
  (build-system gnu-build-system)
  (arguments
   '(#:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases
                             (add-before 'configure 'bootstrap
                                         (lambda* (#:key outputs 
#:allow-other-keys)
                                                  (invoke 
"./bootstrap"))))))
  (synopsis "A versatile (cross-)toolchain generator.")
  (description "A versatile (cross-)toolchain generator.")
  (home-page "https://crosstool-ng.github.io/docs/")
  (license gpl3+)
  )


I need to call the "bootstrap" script before the configure phase. From 
what I can tell from the log the bootstrap script is called, however I 
get the following error:

INFO  :: *** Gathering the list of data files to install
INFO  :: *** Running autoreconf
./bootstrap: line 835: autoreconf: command not found
INFO  :: *** Done!
phase `bootstrap' succeeded after 105.5 seconds

My understanding that the autotools tools were included in the "guix 
build-system gnu" module. Is there some way I have to provide my 
bootstrap phase with the autotools packages?


For some background, this is my first time using guix and guile so I'm 
am kind of banging my head through the manual but I got a little stuck 
here.

Thanks.
