Sounds good.  I've successfully applied the patch to a clean checkout of
Guix at the current master branch head
(c7cf43ddec9be5389d3a2623d6414d9b55354f64).  I've kicked off a build on
an x86_64-linux system (Guix running on a Debian foreign distro) via:

  guix environment --pure guix
  # And then, in the pure environment:
  ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j 1 && echo built guix > /tmp/mylog && time ./pre-inst-env guix build --max-jobs=1 --cores=1 -K -s i686-linux rust@1.19.0

It's gonna take a long time to finish.  I'll let you know how it goes!
