FWIW, I can also confirm that updating the "guix" package to a version
that contains 24c3485bb3ffc05e687ef6513ac287b8d3048bab allows the "guix"
package (which contains the fairly important "guix-daemon"), to build
again. Thanks for getting it that far!

Haven't been able to upgrade my aarch64 systems without local patches
for over a month now... glad to see a fix is *almost* ready!

Is there anything in particular holding back upating the guix package
(other than the huge amount of big merges in progress, release
preparation, etc. and etc.)?


Thanks everyone!
