Can't build Guix from source due to failure to build cookbook

With a `guix describe` like this, I'm unable to build Guix from a fresh Git

Hi Leo,

That's from circa July 30th. You'll have to run 'guix pull' to get

commit 352c49e1 ("gnu: po4a: Apply patch to translate partial Texinfo

menus."), dated August 16th.

Closing!
