As John notes, there’s no /bin/sh in the build environment.  By default,
files starting with #!/bin/sh (or similar) are automatically patched to
#!/nix/store/.../bin/sh.

However, it could be that mkmakemod.sh explicitly invokes /bin/sh in its
body, in which case it has to be patched “manually”.

Try building with --keep-failed, inspect that file, and then don’t
hesitate to join #guix on Freenode for more advice/debugging.  ;-)
