I'm glad to hear it!  Marius and Janneke got these exact results as
well, albeit at a different commit which should be equivalent.

It's apparently not reproducible unless built sequentially.  I did some
preliminary investigation, and my guess is that the gensyms produced by
Guile's compiler sometimes depends on whether dependent modules were
previously compiled or not.

That's fine, although I guess %bootstrap-base-urls will need to be
extended to include the new base URL.

    Thank you!
