First off, use <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html> instead. It documents master instead of the last release tag. It's not going to fix your build, but it at least uses a container instead of a regular guix shell, and drops the obsolete (but harmless) localstatedir option. >My guess is that some of the latest commits breaks the guix build. I doubt it, although I can't reproduce your error so can't say for sure what did. A fresh Guix checkout builds fine here, even using the 'old' instructions. Try the new manual in a new checkout, it might just work. Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
