[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the review!

After some discussion with upstream, it does not seem that Roswell can
be used without using a binary blob of SBCL:

https://github.com/roswell/roswell/issues/387

So I don't think that makes it a good fit for a Guix package.

A few options:

- Patch Roswell so that it takes Guix' SBCL instead of its own (could be
a lot of work).

- Patchelf the binary blob.

Thoughts?
