Wouldn’t such builds simply fail (as in the CMake case), as opposed to succeeding but somehow producing invalid binaries? We can still disabled emulated builds on ci.guix.gnu.org, but let’s first make sure we understand the practical impact of this bug. > I thought this matter with making everyone use LFS was settled in about > 2007--but no, here we go again :( Yeah. :-/ Ludo’.
