Looks like the real error is probably further up in the log.  Can you
find it and post it here?

FWIW, we've been successfully compiling IceCat-38.x for x86_64 and i686
on GNU Guix.

  http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/icecat-38.4.0-gnu1.x86_64-linux

If you follow the links for individual builds, from there you can find
the build logs.

It should be noted that we avoid using the bundled libraries wherever
possible, whereas they are used by default.  Also, to avoid excessive
memory use during linking, we pass the following configure flags:

  --disable-debug --disable-debug-symbols

Here's the full set of configure flags we use (excluding --prefix):

  --with-l10n-base=/tmp/nix-build-icecat-38.4.0-gnu1.drv-0/icecat-38.4.0/l10n
  --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2
  --enable-pango
  --enable-gio
  --enable-svg
  --enable-canvas
  --enable-mathml
  --enable-startup-notification
  --enable-pulseaudio
  --enable-gstreamer=1.0
  --disable-gnomevfs
  --disable-gconf
  --disable-gnomeui
  --disable-debug
  --disable-debug-symbols
  --with-system-zlib
  --with-system-bz2
  --with-system-libevent
  --with-system-libvpx
  --with-system-icu
  --with-system-nspr
  --with-system-nss
  --enable-system-pixman
  --enable-system-cairo
  --enable-system-ffi
  --enable-system-hunspell
  --enable-system-sqlite
