Yes! And it's exactly why i was so puzzled that the new MingW cross-build (https://codeberg.org/guile/guile/pulls/22) merged without any such a test, and which is why I submitted https://codeberg.org/guile/guile/pulls/90, which is, as far as I know, the first recipe to actually test that pull request. I'm happy with the effort put in and the progress made, just not so thrilled by the lack of a test or a recipe to reproduce... And then I got a "I personally don't use Guix and I'm not very interested in trying it out.." comment on that.
