That was done earlier in the thread. It might also be interesting to
try building with enable_widevine=true.
In the context of the FSDG's "a free system distribution must not
contain browsers that implement EME, the browser functionality designed
to load DRM modules", I wonder if the browser would still be considered
as "implementing" the "functionality ... to load DRM modules" from the
FSF's viewpoint since it's only a build flag and the support for
loading the module (even if not provided by Guix since it's non-free)
seems otherwise intact.
