I attached the result of `make menuconfig` in linux-libre-4.15.12, as 
that shows the issue and is as neutral as it gets.




I remember having to turn on "expert" configuration in order to change
some of the default builtins.  If this is the case, perhaps we should
make it a built-in on GuixSD too.


It already has CONFIG_EXPERT=y, as interesting as that might seem as a 
default.

Can you post the .config that requires CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS=y?

Hi Ricardo

The build was success after adding native input as gfortran.
Unfortunately it was not listed in the project website

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/catdap/


I am submitting the patch.

It says that it couldn’t find gfortran.  That’s because the package
definition does not include gfortran among its (native-)inputs.

Try adding it.  Hint: there are other packages in cran.scm that use
gfortran.

./bootstrap

./configure --localstatedir=/var

make

and then did this

./pre-inst-env guix build r-catdap

Got this error while building the package
