Thanks for taking the time to perform all these builds; I'm sure they
took a long time.

I'm guessing that "--cores=2 --max-jobs=1" used fewer threads than the
guix-daemon would normally choose by default on your computer? Like,
maybe you have 4 cores / hyperthreads or something like that?

It's unusual that a program requires multithreaded compilation, but I
wonder if we can add a property to the package definition to require at
least 2 threads when building.
