Hi Andreas,

I had a similar problem with my Arch Linux work machine. I installed
Guix (as in running guix-daemon on a foreign distro) on my Arch work
machine, and used Guix to manage the unison package alone. That way, I
always had matching versions. But, you do need root privileges on your
work machine to pull this off.

It's weird that unison expects to be built with the same compiler
version, but it's very nice that Guix can handle this sort of thing
reliably. :-)

Regards,
Arun
