Confirmed!

This sounds reasonable, given this is 5 years old and perhaps not
relevant anymore.

Closing, thank you!

Guitarix 0.33.0, as of Guix commit 3c3e697, builds
non-deterministically:

File /gnu/store/6ksnwcqn92z2nf6qw5js7njnfqlifgpb-guitarix-0.33.0/lib/libgxw.so is a symbolic link while file t/lib/libgxw.so is a regular file
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It appears to create libgxw.so either as a symlink or as a regular file
in a non-deterministic fashion.

It would be nice to see why this happens, and whether this affects all
Waf-based packages.
