bug#30599: gnucash fails to build

[Chris Marusich]

Hi,

Somewhere between these two Hydra evaluations, gnucash began failing to
build:

First failed job: https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2507218#tabs-details

Last successful job: https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2460526#tabs-details

Job history (master):
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/gnucash-2.6.19.x86_64-linux

Job history (core-updates):
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/gnucash-2.6.19.x86_64-linux/all

Earliest failure on core-updates was on 2018-01-12:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2437575/nixlog/1/tail-reload

I am able to reproduce the failure on x86_64-linux GuixSD.  The error
is:

I'm guessing that maybe it broke on core-updates some time before
2018-01-12.  I'll see if I can "git bisect" to find the commit that
introduced the failure.
