Hi Josselin and Julien,
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions!

For my case, that sounds OK. There are no substitutes for that
three-year old commit any more, so I am building everything. And I don't
care about bit-for-bit equivalence, I just want to run Python 3.8.2.

Ahhh... there's the bad news.

Oohhh... There's always one more surprise in Guix!

Interesting idea! I tried, but it doesn't work: Guix itself complains
about a certificate failure if I set the clock three years back.
Maybe "guix time-machine" should have an option for setting the clock to
the commit timestamp just for the build process...
Cheers,
Konrad.
