I had a quick look into fixing this myself, and made a little bit
of progress. Not being that familiar with how things work yet,
I'm going on what I can guess by looking at gnu/packages/tex.scm,
guix/build-system/texlive.scm and guix/build/texlive-build-system.scm
so I may well be misinterpreting some things.
The source for polyglossia comes in a single file, polyglossia.dtx.
The README embedded within it says to extract the files by running
xetex or luatex on it. I tried to convince the build system to do
this by this patch, which may or may not have been the right approach.
It does at least get a new error:
Generating file(s) ../README
! I can't write on file `../README.tex'.
It appears to be trying to write its README file to the directory above
the build directory, which is failing. Is there a way to make this
directory writeable, or to stop the build system from trying to generate
the README there?
