Dear Guix, The following patch adds abseil-cpp. I want to add it because it seems to be a dependency of tensorflow-1.15.0 (which I am trying to update to). There are two not-so-perfect things with the patch: 1. I had to use the latest Git commit because it adds bits to build shared libraries. 2. I disabled the tests because it attempts to download "googletest". I tried modifying the build system to use "googletest" from Guix but that wasn't succesful. Nevertheless, I hope this patch is acceptable. Kind regards, Roel Janssen
