Hi Jonathan,

Jonathan Brielmaier <jonathan.brielmaier <at> web.de> skribis:

To isolate the problem, how about:

  1. Defining a Guix package for libgc 8.0.4;

  2. Running “guix build guile --with-input=libgc <at> 7=libgc <at> 8” (or
     defining a package along these lines).

?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
