Hi Guix!
I can confirm that this issue is still around and still causing
headaches! ;)
It's definitely a problem on the aarch64 architecture. It's probably
safe to say it's a problem on every platform.
Given how cryptic this error is and how easily it can sneak up in more
complicated system configurations ([1] and [2]), we should capture this
mistake sometime during the build process. Even if putting the target
system as a QEMU emulation platform doesn't make sense, a broken system
with no helpful diagnostics isn't a proportional consequence.
