* doc/guix.texi: Mention that make clean may need to be run before running
make check-system when previous builds were run with different work trees. See

Hi Guix!

Ran into this issue myself. It seems common enough to be worth
mentioning in the docs, similar to the message in (guix) Building from
Git.

I found my solution from https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47573.

>    If you get an error like this one:
> 
>      configure.ac:46: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CHECK_MODULES
