Great suggestion, thanks!

`guix/gnu/packages: grep -B 10 -A 5 'setenv "SHELL' *`
made for a nice list of examples.

This addition makes configure pass:
---
(arguments
  `(#:phases
     (modify-phases %standard-phases
       (add-after 'unpack 'set-env
          (lambda _
            (setenv "CONFIG_SHELL" (which "sh"))
            #t)))))
---

Then, in phase check:

---
make[1]: Entering directory 
'/tmp/guix-build-gimp-resynthesizer-2.0.3.drv-0/resynthesizer-2.0.3/po'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../src/resynth-gui.c', needed by 
'resynthesizer.pot'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory 
'/tmp/guix-build-gimp-resynthesizer-2.0.3.drv-0/resynthesizer-2.0.3/po'
make: *** [Makefile:403: check-recursive] Error 1
---

I found no trace of this being a known issue, or a solution by grep-ing 
sources for .pot, so I just added `#:tests? #f` to arguments.


Next, in phase install:

---

'/tmp/guix-build-gimp-resynthesizer-2.0.3.drv-0/resynthesizer-2.0.3/src/resynthesizer'
