I can perform the build successfully using

    $ guix build --check \
        -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) bash-masboot0)'

That scary backtrace happens even for the successful build, so I’m
pretty sure it is not the issue.  (Note that the configure test succeeds
in the end with a “yes”.)

Is there anything else suspicious in the logs?
