I guess not.
That would require rewriting the server part to make emacs aware of
libclang and
how to use it.
I am a user of irony-mode who would enjoy having the package available
through
Guix but I am definitely not a developer who knows how to handle LLVM /
clang.
While it would be nice it would be out of the scope of packaging
irony-mode as it
would require upstream changes to irony-mode itself that break
compatibility.
