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

The genesis subdirectory of src/runtime doesn't exist, so the 
build fails.  Building on x86_64 successfully gets past the point 
where it fails on aarch64/arm64.

From the build log, it looks like the "make-host-1" part of SBCL's build
exits prematurely because of the following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Have you asked upstream if they know what could cause this error?

I'll do that and report back.

I contacted upstream 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/1996942); they've committed 
a fix and sent me a patch.  I tried to make a patch to guix that 
would fix it, but the patch apparently isn't being applied just by 
adding it to the patches field of the origin and I'm not sure why.

My current effort is attached.

...or I could just be an idiot.  (I somehow thought that 
pre-inst-env would work without... actually compiling the changed 
guix repo, if the only changes were in a package definition, which 
is in retrospect dumb.)

The previously attached patch works.

Sorry for the confusion.

I registered the new patch file in "gnu/local.mk" and pushed as

Thanks.
