Ah see, it’s out of range.

Could you run Guile, load (guix build syscalls), and try to run the code
of the ‘start’ method that appears in
‘static-networking-shepherd-service’ to see which syscall is giving us
that error?

Could it be ‘ifreq-struct-size’ that’s off on GNU/Hurd, or one of its
friends?
