With the attached patch on top of master (c650160abb), the build fails with 
messages similar to this one:
./doc/guix.de.texi:158: @ref reference to nonexistent node `Translating Guix'

I attached the build logs.

I used the following to build, to make sure to start from a clean tree:
---
git clean -ffdx && guix environment guix --pure --ad-hoc help2man git strace -- 
sh -c './bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make' | tee build.log

---

Kind regards,
