Hello! I'm getting this error while trying to compile latest guix
master on one of my machines (fortunately, not my main one). I don't
know why I'm hitting this error, since I'm not hitting it on my main
machine. I'm upgrading from a few months back.
I spoke on irc and found that Ricardo had the same issue:
<rekado> paroneayea: I also got this error trying to run “make”
<rekado> paroneayea: it happens on my recording machine (x86_64) that hadn’t
been updated in a while, but not on my laptop (also x86_64), which is
updated regularly.
Here's what I do. I start at the commit I was at
(c2662820f359be19262cdd5d564e6a0dddc43281) and run "guix environment
guix". Then I do a "git pull && make clean && make" and I get:

This is on commit 21abf092a49f0ce80cbfff5cccabb7dbf53abf96
If instead I switch back to c2662820f359be19262cdd5d564e6a0dddc43281 I
can compile Guix again.
I did a git-bisect to find what commit was breaking things. According
to git-bisect, the perpetrator is:
63302a4e55241a41eab4c21d7af9fbd0d5817459 is the first bad commit
commit 63302a4e55241a41eab4c21d7af9fbd0d5817459

Add (gnu build shepherd).
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.

bisect run success
I've confirmed this by double-checking that I can build the commit
before but not this commit.
I don't really know why this fails, but it looks like it's somehow
triggering a remote process in some way related to tests and
shepherd... which is confusing, because I don't think this happening
during tests.

Linux-Libre 4.8.1
And! As it turns out, I went to the last revision before I was hitting
compilation isues (c90db25f4cf1f98f3f4f3af38d175a14ffb8c32a), did a make
on the repo, and from there I did a "guix system reconfigure". I
restarted, and after that I was able to build the repo on git master.
If it's because of the kernel that things work now, it did upgrade the
kernel... the kernel is now at 4.9.8.
I wonder why this happened?

This was likely due to ABI breakage, which is caught and reported
automatically in recent versions of Guix.
