Hi Ludo,

I tried building Guile with the following Guix package definition:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public guile-2.2-awesome
  (package (inherit guile-2.2)
    (name "guile-awesome")
    (source (origin (inherit (package-source guile-2.2))
       (patches (list "/home/rwurmus/0001-Remove-weak-tables-and-revert-to-weak-hash-tables.patch"
                      "/home/rwurmus/0002-Keep-weak-hash-table-item-count-consistent.patch"))))
    (arguments
      (substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments guile-2.2)
        ((#:phases phases)
         `(modify-phases ,phases
            (add-before 'pre-configure 'bootstrap
              (lambda _
                (zero? (system* "autoreconf" "-vif"))))))))
    (native-inputs
     `(("autoconf" ,autoconf)
       ("automake" ,automake)
       ("libtool" ,libtool)
       ("flex" ,flex)
       ("texinfo" ,texinfo)
       ("gettext" ,gettext-minimal)
       ,@(package-native-inputs guile-2.2)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Unfortunately, I cannot bootstrap Guile on this 1.5 TB RAM server:

I will try this on a workstation with fewer cores and less memory later.
