I ran `dos2unix 0001-gnu-Add-ldc-1.1.0-beta6.patch` then applied the
patch on a newly cloned guix repository and ran the following command:

    ./pre-inst-env guix environment guix --pure -- ./pre-inst-env guix
build --keep-failed ldc@1.1.0-beta6

on my system.
The ldc build ran successfully with no errors.

My system is a x86_64, running Debian 8 (Jessie). The output of `uname -a` is:

    Linux localhost 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1
(2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

When you get the time, please send me the files in
/tmp/guix-build-ldc-1.1.0-beta6.drv-0/build/Testing from your system.
Those should help me troubleshoot the issue.
