Build with guix stumbling blocks

I followed the instructions for building using guix. I didn't have guix so I installed it:

$ apt install guix

then back to the instructions:

$ guix shell
# turn off heating while v8 builds
$ ./bootstrap
# [...]
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /gnu/store/d2dawk0141crxs7nvsx26cvx4g89wsk7-profile/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /gnu/store/d2dawk0141crxs7nvsx26cvx4g89wsk7-profile/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating module/Makefile
config.status: creating pre-inst-env
config.status: creating js-test
config.status: creating module/hoot/config.scm

and finally

$ make
Making all in module
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/mikeb/work/hoot-build/module'
  GEN      language/cps/hoot.go
../pre-inst-env: 13: exec: compile: not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:596: language/cps/hoot.go] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mikeb/work/hoot-build/module'
make: *** [Makefile:848: all-recursive] Error 1

The error arises because the env entry $GUILE_TOOLS is expected to have a value in module/Makefile, but is empty. In the configure output, I can see checking for guile-tools-3.0... no, which I think explains its lack. GUILE_TOOLS seems to be set from GUILD -- and guild is available, because it's part of the guile package which was required by guix.scm; but guild-3.0 isn't, and that's what autoconf appears to look for.

If I do

GUILD=`which guild` ./configure

then it gets further (though it still reports checking for guile-config-3.0... no), but make fails at

$ make

This file looks OK to me, albeit there's a lot of quasiquoting going on. I don't know how to get past this.
