I just added the ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”.
So by default you get an error, with a message from the daemon telling
you to try ‘--fallback’. The difference is that now the option actually
exists. ;-)

Yes. Fixed by commit cf5d2ca.

There should not be any problem with that now, but perhaps that was
fixed recently (maybe commit 91fe0e20c7da2b706a1ac0e7b75235b6c1e6ed0a).
Thanks!
