Hi Gábor and Ricardo,
I see that Gábor made this GitHub issue to track their work:
https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/issues/16
At this point, can I help with anything in particular, or should I wait
until after Gábor pushes the fix(es) for java-hamcrest-core, so we can
build the covering of icedtea-8 after that and see what still breaks?

Sounds good to me.

This patch seems fine to me. I briefly looked but could not find it in
the Guix Git repo; have you not pushed it yet?

I agree: using the upstream revision sounds like a better plan. The
only reason I can think why we would not want to do that is if it is
going to take a long time for it to get released.
