It fails while building v86d. Looking at the or statement, it should
probably close after (file-exists? "/dev/fb0") and then the whole thing
wrapped in a when or an if. I checked and /dev/fb0 doesn't exist on my
machine.

Actually that didn't make a difference, it still tried to build v86d.
Even changing the '(or (not' to '(if (and (and' it still tries to build
v86d. My guess is that it's not evaluating the conditionals until it's
time to run the service so it makes sure v86d is there.
