Since you’re building the release, I strongly recommend using the
release tarball at <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-0.10.0.tar.gz>
instead of a Git checkout.  The release tarball is “bootstrapped”, so
you wouldn’t have to run ./bootstrap, and we’d be safer overall.  :-)

It wouldn’t make a big difference in this case, but in the future it’d
be best to return the .log files as mentioned at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-the-Test-Suite.html>.

This appears to be the crux of the problem.

Could you run this command from the build tree:

  ./test-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-boot0)' -K

This should fail with the same error as above, but it should leave a
directory called /tmp/guix-build-make-boot0-4.1.drv-0; could you post
the make-4.1/config.log file from that directory?

Thank you for your report!
