Turns out that this error is completely unrelated to config.status so
nevermind.

    builder for ‘/nix/store/q58j232gd0jkmxg8b1z1smrj3jigj96n-gnunet-gtk-0.10.1.drv’ failed with exit code 1
    error: build of ‘/nix/store/q58j232gd0jkmxg8b1z1smrj3jigj96n-gnunet-gtk-0.10.1.drv’ failed

To try to get a better idea of what is happening, I run `nix-shell -A gnunet-gtk`. Once the shell is up, I run `unpackPhase` and cd into gnunet-gtk-0.10.1/

I can then run `configurePhase` and get the same error as above. Looking through config.log has not been enlightening (see attached). However, I can then run `./config.status` with no error. This does change config.log (see attached).

Does anyone have any idea why config.status is failing when called by the configure script but is working fine when calling it manually?
