I sent a patch against guile: =
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D36677

If you=E2=80=99d like to try it in guix, here=E2=80=99s a patch to apply =
the patch to guile-next,
though I guess to make it apply to the build daemon you=E2=80=99d have =
to apply it to
gnu/packages/guile.scm:guile/fixed.

Happy to submit a patch to do that.
