Yes it is. 

I'm just slowly documenting all the problems I encountered while
trying GuixSD on a X200. 

This was one of the first: I checked out
cbfstool from coreboot in order to swap Fn and Ctrl and tried to make
it, but it didn't find "cc" and then got stuck in an endless loop
(which is a problem in coreboot, also reported there as
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/81588 ).

That's okay. If it already was discussed that's fine. 

With kind regards,
