builder for `/gnu/store/9wi7i1wimwd4h6fz5hx8kc96x523j2s4-make-4.4-debug' failed previously (cached)
build of /gnu/store/aajiqll3kmhmgzc9xvy91wwsjgndll4h-make-4.4.drv failed
This is because the <upstream-source> gexp compiler picks the first
source that comes up, which happens to be tar.lz, rather than tar.gz,
which would work.
