Yes, some of them (gnutls, git, python) have just been cleaned-up and applied to core-updates. > I'm looking at the first one (for perl) for example... Ah, that one took some review and effort, see https://bugs.gnu.org/40698 and has now been applied too. > I've been trying to cross-compile the binary-tarball to new arches, > without any success, all failing the same way, on perl... > > And when it hit me that there is a recurring theme in those failures > I found a few issues and ML posts about the same problem. > > So, what's the status of those patches ? Hard to tell! Some of those are ready, others need review, others need work. The autotools patches need review, but they work. The patches to cross-build guix need some discussion and worse, cross-compiling guix currently uses a terrible kludge; so while also that "works", its still under development.
