Ricardo was interested in using this toolchain for one specific purpose, so maybe we’ll want to check that it also works here. Ricardo: could you comment? FWIW I had commented on Ricardo’s patch series here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-09/msg01379.html > This is the first patch that I send in guix-devel, so please bear with me. Welcome! Sorry that it already took a bit long, but hopefully we’ll converge real soon! :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
