You get the error above when running “make”, which in turn runs
build-aux/download.scm, right?
If so, I think this can be worked around with:
diff --git a/build-aux/download.scm b/build-aux/download.scm
index 8dfa91460..5cb2491dc 100644
--- a/build-aux/download.scm

;; Alternately:

However, the whole point of /etc/services is so that application writers
don’t have to hard-code port number everywhere. So I’d be tempted to
say this is not a bug.
WDYT?
