Building a clean master checkout of guix is impossible right now.

I'm trying to build guix master de136f3ee7878dea139e751b7e4ca04c2542c91d
from guix master e5504f2ba0bd00a7306aada51981328b746b5f7d.

I get a lot of error messages related to unbound variables.
For good measure, I've deleted ~/.cache/guile now - but that didn't improve
matters.

So I deleted the references from the file.

Then I get:

My bad, I had one tiny local change.  Sorry.

This was caused by me changing gnu/packages/libreoffice.scm libreoffice to use
glib-or-gtk-build-system without adding #:use-module (guix build-system 
glib-or-gtk).

The error message could be better :P

And it is indeed better if it built all the other stuff before.

To get the bad error message:

(1) Change gnu/packages/libreoffice.scm libreoffice to use 
glib-or-gtk-build-system
(2) Invoke "make clean"
(3) Invoke "make"
(4) Witness error message about "gzip".
