     Why would the missing pkg.m4 be a problem?  It=E2=80=99s only used when
     bootstrapping Autoconf-based packages.

ix-devel from package-management.scm),

     (And if it=E2=80=99s really needed, it=E2=80=99s easy to add that syml=
ink.)

     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.
