Hi!
On #bootstrappable, mid-kid reported that ‘binutils-mesboot0’ incommencement.scm lacks ‘--enable-deterministic-archives’. So I checkedif this had an effect by running:
guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc-core-mesboot0)' \ --check -K
and yes, it does:

Apparently Binutils 2.14 didn’t have ‘--enable-deterministic-archives’so we’ll have to patch it.
There are a few other Binutils variants in commencement.scm that we’llhave to check.
