Someone (I don't remember who and don't care to look it up, might have
been myself) pushed this without marking the bug as done.  The hoot
link is also dead.  Time to close up.

Hi Guix,

this series gets us a little closer to having a "full" WebAssembly stack.
It packages binaryen, on top of which other compilers such as emscripten
or AssemblyScript (a sort of Typescript?) are built.

However, there is a grain of salt.  It appears binaryen has some rather
esoteric use for -msse2 on i686: Rather than performance, it wants it
for precision.  Needless to say, this would break compatibility with
older CPUs.  I'm wondering if we should simply drop i686 (and similarly
32-bit ARM) from supported-systems or whether there's a more clever
hack to use here.

Cheers

Liliana Marie Prikler (2):
  gnu: Add python-filecheck.
  gnu: Add binaryen.
