Right, that is better.  Done!

Heh, my main motivation for these patches was to remove scary warnings
about incompatible bytecode during boot, but we also boot faster as a
side effect!  :-)

Patches pushed!

I think we are pretty close to actually merging this branch now..!

Subject: [PATCH core-updates 0/5] Use Guile 3.0 in the initrd
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 20:20:27 +0200

Guix,

These patches changes the initrd to use Guile 3.0.  By default it uses
%GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED from (gnu packages make-bootstrap), which on the
core-updates branch refers to Guile 2.0.

It is suboptimal to define this new static Guile variant straight in
(gnu system linux-initrd), but adding it to (gnu packages guile) would
cause a cyclic module reference with (gnu packages make-bootstrap).

WDYT?

Marius Bakke (5):
  gnu: %guile-static: Rewrite in terms of 'make-guile-static'.
  gnu: %guile-static-stripped: Rewrite in terms of
    'make-guile-static-stripped'.
  gnu: make-bootstrap: Export MAKE-GUILE-STATIC and
    MAKE-GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED.
  linux-initrd: Use Guile 3.0.
  gnu: make-bootstrap: Do not export %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED.
