This looks like it is a result of an undefined %bzip2, %xz, and/or %gzip
value.  These values are used by utils.scm to assemble a command.  They
are defined in config.scm, which is created at configure/build time.

Do you have config.scm in the root directory of the repository?  Did you
run ./configure?
