You also have to add the patch file to gnu-system.am so it gets picked up.

this line should be (patches (search-path "tclxml-3.2-install.patch"))))
(I think, check other packages with patches)

this line should line up with the others like (native-inputs. It looks like
it also threw off (arguments

I don't think this needs to be a list. Also, (variable, (separator and (file
should line up with the "e" in (search

line these two lines up with the "--

the two following string-appends should line up with the above string-append

normally we put #:tests? #f, with a reason why. Are there no tests? Do they
fail unexpectedly?

this line is too long. Also, is there a spot on their website that lists the
license? If not, it'd be better to point to a file in the tarball.

make sure you run guix lint, there are several spaces where you use tabs and we only use spaces
