With these arguments I can build fibers.

    (arguments
     `(#:parallel-build? #f
       #:phases
       (modify-phases %standard-phases
         (add-after 'unpack 'patch-epoll-path
           (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
             (substitute* "fibers/epoll.scm"
               (("load-extension \"epoll\"")
                "load-extension \".libs/epoll\""))
             #t)))))

I don’t think that’s right, though, because it probably won’t find epoll
at runtime.  Maybe this can be avoided at build time with an environment
variable?  In the end I think “epoll” should be replaced with the full
store path of the epoll shared object.
