Subject: Chunked store references in compiled code break grafting (again)
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 16:47:04 +0100

Hello Guix,

The recently added glibc grafts triggered issues that, in the end, show
the return of <http://bugs.gnu.org/24703> (“Store references in 8-byte
chunks in compiled code”).

Specifically on commit 2b5c5f03c2f0a84f84a5517e2e6f5fa9f276ffa5:

If we look with hexl-mode, we see that libc-2.26.so contains some of
these too:

That in turns means that gconv-modules won’t be found, and that guile
with crash during startup with “Uncaught exception” (because early on it
fails to convert file names to UTF-8 through iconv).

To be continued…
