This is great and will hopefully help us to avoid regression on Windows once we get it to work. Do you think this could be package for Guix? It would be nice if I could just do: $ guix build --with-git-url=guile-mingw64=./guile guile-mingw64 and not worry about docker and such. [...] Thanks, Olivier -- Olivier Dion
