Thank you! Unfortunately that build is now affected by an issue that I only 
noticed yesterday: powerpc64le-linux builds for core-updates-frozen get 
permanently stuck in the ‘Scheduled’ state, even though guixp9 is 
completely idle (as it is right now).

For example, this evaluation from Sep 17 has thousands of scheduled 
evaluations:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/19271?status=pending

This is also happening with at least one other platform as well. This 
evaluation from Sep 25 has a lot of scheduled evaluations for i586-gnu (as 
well as powerpc64le-linux):

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/23187?status=pending

That is awesome!

Ah, ok. Thank you for the heads up.
