I managed to get Guix running in a VM and updated the instructions
on the bitmessage wiki for Guix:
https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#Resolve_dependencies

(last row in the table). Based on this, whoever maintains the package
should be able to update it.

I haven't actually tested OpenCL because building pyopencl requires
opencl libraries and I have no idea how to install them on Guix. I don't
even think that open source drivers are compatible with the current CL
kernel, I was only ever able to get it running on closed source drivers
(AMD/Nvidia/Intel).

PyBitmessage is now compatible with both openssl 1.0.x and 1.1.x
(actually it should work back until 0.9.8b but I haven't tested it), and
in the next days I'll merge LibreSSL support so if you have to choose a
particular version or something, it doesn't matter, it will work with
whatever is installed.
