I noticed that many Common Lisp or SBCL-related packages are failing to build on the aarc64 platform on our build farm, due the failure to build SBCL:
>From the log of <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/180326/details>: ------ //entering make-target-2.sh //doing warm init - compilation phase This is SBCL 2.1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>. SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty. It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the distribution for more information.

However, until we make it work, I plan to remove aarch64 from the "supported-systems" of sbcl, to avoid attempting these builds.
