Hello,
Though I don't use neither contribute to shepherd, nor guix, guixsd either, I
got
curious, because the error message did trigger a bell, so I went on and visited
the
source code and here is my few cents :)

I think it would be better if the tree had the traditional ./autogen.sh
or ./bootstrap, especially because it would contain more then just 'autoreconf
-vfi'
(see below)

Not sure why this happens, I don't see the usual 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])'
in the shepherd configure.ac file, maybe someone else has a clue? It's a warning
though, so it might be ok anyway ...

Don't know about the later, but wrt the former, I started to get these errors
soon
after I started to contribute to guile-gnome/guile-clutter, and here is what I
wrote
in their respective ./autogen.sh
<---- autogen.sh starts here ---->
#!/bin/sh
# Run this to generate all the initial makefiles, etc.
# configure.ac uses the guile.m4 GUILE_FLAGS macro, among others,
# which needs build-aux/config.rpath which is not installed anymore by
# modern version of automake, and without it, this script will raise
# an error. For why it's needed, see the comments wtr in m4/guile.m4.
if [ ! -d "build-aux" ]; then
mkdir build-aux
fi
touch build-aux/config.rpath
autoreconf -vif
echo
echo "Now run ./configure --prefix=/your/prefix."
<---- autogen.sh ends here ---->

Here there are two problems:
1- the configure.ac has a tipo
line 86, it has '... po/Makefile.in'
but it should be '... po/Makefile'
2- the po subdir does not have a Makefile.in
HTH,
