A side effect is that progress report is > now off, but we can fix it later. I pushed a variant of this patch, resorting to an ugly hack so that compile-all.scm can still estimate progress. The estimate is correct if you’re building all the .go files, not so much if you just do, say: make rm guix/cpio.go && make because guix/cpio.scm is in the first module set, so it’ll think it’s starting from scratch and display “0%”. Fixing it is left as an exercise to the reader. :-) It seemed more important to me to fix the memory exhaustion issue first. Thanks, Ludo’.
