Can't you use #:configure-flags here ? Btw, I think you should include 
more details about the errors created by WebRTC, so someone can try and 
fix them.

Perhaps ‘substring’ instead of ‘string-copy’ (does pretty much the same
thing, but the meaning is clearer IMO.)

> +          (lambda* (#:key #:allow-other-keys)

(lambda _ ...) is enough (where ‘_’ is a convention to suggest that we
don’t care about the arguments.)

> +            ;; delete dangling symlinks

Do they cause problem with one of the patch-everything passes?

Other than that, it looks good to me.

Thanks for this brave endeavor!

Okay. I have no preference.

Thanks, that is interesting to know!

Yes.

Okay, I will push in a moment without trying to compile again, and let hydra
pick up any error.

This is the same problem as encountered also for other packages, such as
ffmpeg and bigloo.

It succeeded on i686 but failed on x86_64 for unclear reasons (the log
doesn’t show any error, but dmesg shows a couple of OOMs...), so I’ve
just restarted it.

Thanks,

Lots of memory is probably needed. I haven't tried to compile
IceCat but I recall the Mozilla instructions for Firefox saying
that 4GB was required and that less may give memory errors during
compile. I'm not sure how much RAM Hydra has.

As discussed on IRC, hydra.gnu.org has only 2 GiB of RAM.  I asked the
FSF sysadmins if they could increase it, but that’s not currently
possible.

I think we must really work towards connecting additional slaves now.
