As my system configuration is pretty complex, I'm still trying to come 
with a reproducer, while that, here are some relevant information:

Hi,

lgcoelho <at> disroot.org skribis:

> /gnu/store/d4pxrvn1kyh5rf11dpnbaj4q85zq9kgg-kexec-load-system.scm.drv...
> WARNING: (guile-user): imported module (guix build utils) overrides core

Is it on x86_64?

Regardless, we should make this a warning rather than an error.

Ludo’.
