Hi Dariqq,

I'm still in favor of the second solution, as previously discussed here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-06/msg00182.html.

However, I think linux-libre-headers should refer to the latest
header, and for bootstrapping purpose there *should* be a
linux-libre-headers-bootstrap variable or something like that.

I'm not too knowledgable on the entire bootstrapping process, but if I
see that correctly, the headers are only used in
linux-libre-headers-boot0 of commencement.scm? That could be changed,
even though I'm not sure what that implies in terms of rebuilds.
