[aarch64] grub-efi cannot be built because of qemu changes

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

commit 71b8707100e2fbc00f123566717ba3958c6afabb seems to have broken
reconfiguration of my aarch64 machine.

That commit adds openbios-qemu-ppc to qemu, but the build of
openbios-qemu-ppc fails on aarch64:

What can be done about this?

With openbios-qemu-ppc failing, qemu-minimal cannot be built, so
grub-efi cannot be built on aarch64.

Re: WIP: zig-build-system

[Ekaitz Zarraga]

Hi

I think I have something working!

It's not intended to be production-ready code but it should be near to that.

There are two files attached: the build system and a package to show how to use 
it more or less.

Please take a look and tell me what you think. Let's see if we can merge this 
someday.

Best,

Oh thanks!  I do not know why I did not found it when using my favorite

Well, I still think that examples about how to use it are worth and will
help for adoption. :-)

For instance, this section of the manual [1] describes how to use
git-format-patch and git-send-email with details applied to Guix
examples.  It appears to me better than just pointing [2] and [3]. ;-)

I like it.

I think adding the `default?` property is nicer than the -next
trick. Only nitpick: I would maybe call the property `default-version?`
to make meaning of the property more explicit.
