The specifications are now Guix records, which means that the syntax
error are now reported:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2021-03-25T14:52:46 running Fibers on 4 kernel threads
/home/mathieu/cuirass/examples/hello.scm:1:6: error: (specification (namee "guix-master") (build (quote hello))): extraneous field initializers (namee)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
