That's a good observation. I hadn't thought of it.

I'm CC-ing Mathieu Othacehe and guix-sysadmin so that we can disable
these builds until we can fix the bug for real. Mathieu: this might
explain why the build farm is spending all its effort on aarch64.

By the way, SBCL can be built for aarch64 according to Efraim:

http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2021-01-13.log#105652

So, the original point of this bug is obviated, and I'm re-titling it to
address your observation, Guillaume.
