That will be a welcomed improvement!

Great! As we are going for a full rebuild, maybe we should also consider
some of the Thiago fixes targeting core-updates-frozen such as
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50239.

This seems reasonable and I'm currently rebuilding the world to test
this fix and the Python fix. I should maybe apply your Rust bootstrap
patch if you have it around to gain some time.

Thanks for all those fixes!

Mathieu
