Hi, I have been attempting to rebuild my user profile from source.
Kicad, however, fails to build with the following error:

My guix commit is a little old now (a little over a week) if that makes
a difference. My system information:

I believe this was fixed recently, I reported the failure as bug #49161
and the thread was concluded with mention of a patch.
