Running `guix pull --help-transform' displays all the usual
transformation options, but when I try to use any, it reports an
unrecognized option.

It would be nice if I could use `guix pull --without-tests=glib' since
tests time out on my (somewhat slow) Beaglebone Black.

P.S. --without-tests=glib does not work for 1.2.0 anyway though
because glib was only fixed for core-updates
I don’t know if fixing `guix pull` transformation options would aid
pulls to core-updates though.

Oops, fixed in e79ecff045094a75226439a6284306475a2f907e. I’ll
cherry-pick it in ‘version-1.2.0’.

It’s unfortunately not really an option.

Are substitutes for GLib missing?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

They are missing on armhf-linux (maybe for months, I am not sure).
guix weather glib shows no substitutes. I believed it was because of
the getdents issue (bug 44773), I had not followed the mails; other
packages (gnupg for example) have substitutes though.
