Since you=E2=80=99re building the release, I strongly recommend using the
release tarball at <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.10.0.tar.gz>
instead of a Git checkout.  The release tarball is =E2=80=9Cbootstrapped=E2=
=80=9D, so
you wouldn=E2=80=99t have to run ./bootstrap, and we=E2=80=99d be safer ove=
rall.  :-)

> make -j20   |& tee  LOGS/make.log
> make -j20 check |& tee  LOGS/make.check.log

It wouldn=E2=80=99t make a big difference in this case, but in the future i=
t=E2=80=99d
be best to return the .log files as mentioned at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-the-Test-Suite.=
html>.

This appears to be the crux of the problem.

Could you run this command from the build tree:

  ./test-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-boot0)=
' -K

This should fail with the same error as above, but it should leave a
directory called /tmp/guix-build-make-boot0-4.1.drv-0; could you post
the make-4.1/config.log file from that directory?

Thank you for your report!
