This is a great idea and something I lost when I moved from
self-compiling SBCL to Guix's version!

I am also not aware of any drawbacks, and I love that you implemented
this as an option in the build-system. Should we default it to true?

Also, as an aside, I am tracking Next; thank you for this project!
