I can’t reproduce it.

However, I’ve observed that Guile’s auto-compilation cache seems to take
precedence sometimes, though I haven’t investigated yet.

Can you run ‘rm -rf ~/.cache/guile/ccache’, and then ‘make clean &&
make’ again?

Note that ‘guix pull’, which does a fresh recompilation of the whole
thing, doesn’t show the problem either.

TIA,
