Could you post, say, the last 200 lines of its build log? One way to find it is to run: ls -lrt /var/log/guix/drvs/*/*gcc-4.8.3* and then open the most recent one. > This led me to the reason I am contacting the list.

There’s no convenient method to report build issues, but I agree it would be very useful. Something like a --report option to ‘guix build’ that would automatically email [email protected] with the relevant info upon failure. Thanks, Ludo’.
