Hi phodina,

Do you come across this issue also while compiling by hand, rather than
via the Guix daemon?

Here [1], you can see the same problem tackled by Gentoo community. It
was 2005 and related to another package, rather than directly hwinfo,
but maybe it would be worth taking a look at the current hwinfo Gentoo
recipe [2]. At some point, it says

   # Workaround from Arch, if using source tarballs from github

Here’s [3] how Arch folks do it. There’s this line

   CFLAGS+="-fPIC -I$srcdir/$pkgname/src/hd -w" \

Could it be related to libhd?

Good luck,

WŻ
