I picked up some of your rewording and have changed the wording slightly
to mention Automake, to make it more likely to be picked up by search
engines when given the error.
Thank you for being insistent.

Hello Florian,
> Would that be OK?
Yeah, that's it. Sure, it's not much but it is at least "something" we
can refer to and later improve upon.
Here is a different wording of your text (,aided by AI. Pick the one

Hello Rostislav.
I do not know how to address the issue properly or where to document it.
The Writing Documentation section is the wrong place, because everyone
has to bootstrap again, not only the one who is writing documentation;
if we put a notice somewhere, then it would be something like:

It ate me away ~1 work-hour, from the "It doesn't compile, what the
hell!?!" moment, all the way through the "What am I doing wrong?...
Nothing!" phases, until I found the culprit. And then the search for a
Hello Rostislav,
This advice would not be read by most affected Guix developers. The
problem is that every guix developer must rerun ./bootstrap and
./configure on pulling certain changes like ABI breaks (when a new
record is added) and new cookbook versions.
Every Guix developer making a

Yeap that helped. Thank you Efraim.
BTW there's a corresponding comment in the doc/local.mk which could be improved:
