Hi,

yes I know the system is really old and I am suffering a lot with that
fact. Installing guix needs quite some effort due to dependencies and
having to compile guile from source manually.

Of course I would prefer to have a recent kernel version, but since
planetlab is a network testbed providing a fix image there's nothing I
can do about that...

I totally understand if you don't want to apply the patch... just wanted
to let you know how I fixed the issue. If you reject I just will apply
it manually before compiling...

In the end I made guix compile with the patch and it works when
disabling chroot... (otherwise it complained about being unabled to
fork) ... 

Thanks a lot for your effort any!
I'll let you know about progess installing gnunet with guix!

Matthias
