Removing ~/.kodi/ did not solve the issue.

Rolling back sufficiently far did help.  My generations:

4 — kodi 18.0-ALPHA1 Git:20171106-nogitfound — works
5 — kodi 18.0-ALPHA1 Git:20171113-nogitfound — crashes

Fantastic feature this rolling back!

Sidenote: I see that the guix-profile symlink in
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/*/ is absolute; why no relative links?

I installed GuixSD 0.13.0.  Hereafter, I have done a `guix pull` and
`guix package -u`, which resulted recently in

9 — kodi 18.0-ALPHA1 Git:20171113-nogitfound — crashes

That's six days ago; that's not that old, right?
