Hi Maxim,

I've CC'd Mathieu on this email because he sent an email recently asking
for help with the 1.4.0 release, and Ludo because he was working on bug
52752.

On aarch64-linux, on master, bug 52943 prevents the "guix" package from
building successfully.  I've committed a fix for this on the master
branch in commit 24c3485bb3ffc05e687ef6513ac287b8d3048bab.  However, I
haven't yet updated the "guix" package, since Ludo mentioned here that
he wanted to update the "guix" package to include a different fix (for
bug 52752), but I'm not sure that he's done that yet:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52752#2

I figured we could coordinate and update the "guix" package at the right
time, all at once.

It would be good to ensure that the "guix" package builds successfully
on aarch64-linux for the 1.4.0 release.  Therefore, I'd like to get the
fix for 52943 included in the version-1.4.0 branch, but I don't want to
step on anyone's toes.  What can I do to get the fix included in the
release?
