Hi Guix! I recently tried to build guix from git on my armhf machine. However, it failed at 14% when loading gnu/system/installer.scm. The error was:
error: failed to load 'gnu/system/install.scm': Nom de fichier trop long (name too long) Indeed, stracing the build process I see a lstat64 syscall on this file: ~/guix/repo/master/gnu/../gnu/installer//////////////////... (with many /). Reverting commit 82d8959e5d137b2061a68878d78a8f74a238ac44 lets me build guix from git. I tried to run guix pull too, in order to test from a more recent system, but guix-modular-master fails on ci since around that commit, and the same path is shown in the log, for instance: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/7jzm70m187xdb41jmljmq6vkzjwsnh2d-guix-system ends with a lstat of /gnu/store/qi99vg92icmpcw623rvg8rqdlvilqb00-guix-system-source/gnu/../gnu/installer////////... other architectures don't seem to have that issue, as ci is able to build modular-master for them. I was also able to build guix from git on my x86_64 machine.
