Building from git fails on linking guix-daemon with undefined reference to argp_parse

Building from git fails on linking guix-daemon with undefined reference to argp_parse

Hi Guix: 

I'm trying to build guix from git in Termux on Android. 

I've built all the requisites with no problems. Guix build fails on linking the guix-daemon with: 

  CXXLD    guix-daemon
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-android-ld: nix/nix-daemon/guix_daemon-guix-daemon.o: in function `main':
/data/data/com.termux/files/home/compile/guix/nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc:499: undefined reference to `argp_parse'
clang-7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [Makefile:3317: guix-daemon] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/compile/guix'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:4500: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/compile/guix'
make: *** [Makefile:3095: all] Error 2
~/compile/guix $

I have argp standalone installed, argp.h present — from what I've seen, this error usually means you need to pass “-largp” to the linker, but I don't know where. I've tried setting LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS alternatively to '-largp' before running configure — but it's not having any effect. 

Any ideas? 

Many thanks.

Heroic!  I admire your courage, but I have to ask: what is your goal?
It seems like it might be easier to install a pre-built Guix into the
Android system.  Then you could build Guix with Guix, and not worry
about manually figuring out all the dependencies.
