I don’t know what this means.  If this isn’t actually working on a GNU
system I’d like to suggest to wait until you can confirm that it does.
If you need “nvidia-texture-tools” and that requires libdispatch then
please test that it does in fact work.

If you have no need for libdispatch and it seems that it’s not working
I’d rather not have it in Guix.
