[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
On a system that lacks '/etc/services' (CoreOS), building Guix from
source fails because getaddrinfo() doesn't know how to proceed:

ERROR: In procedure getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

I worked around this issue by downloading the binaries by hand with
curl.

I don't know how curl does it, but could it be possible to make the Guix
build more resilient here?
