Awesome! I'm looking forward to getting some aarch64 hardware for Guix.

Qt 4 and that old version of webkit are unmaintained, full of bugs, and
we will probably have to remove them soon, regardless of whether or not
something depends on them. So I don't think you should worry about
trying to build them for aarch64.
