It seems like the merge conflict I caused for hurd has been resolved incorrectly: hurd still has the "hurd-64bit.patch" that I removed when updating hurd for core-packages-team.

having every gcc that is not gcc-14 broken seems bad.

Here is where where the packages I reported come from:
clisp is blocking linux-libre
dtc and openbios are blocking grub
nvi is in %base-packages-interactive
python-pyelftools is blocking genimage
fakeroot is needed for system-disk-image

You cannot currently run guix system image gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl from core packages team.
