So, I've been running guix pull from hurd-team on the Hurd all day.
Starting with the max-25 files split without (gc), it failed 5
consecutive times building guix-packages-base.  Because the initial
patch worked pretty well and had the (gc) call (and yes, also used the
26-way split), I re-added (gc), and now the fourth attempt succeeded.
After `guix-packages-base' built, `guix-packages' then built right away.

I seem to remember guix-packages was the main problem when I wrote the
first version of this patch some four months ago, but that one split the
list of packages 26-way of course.  That suggests that the (combined)
compilation of certain files is especially problematic, or that it has
since become more problematic (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66063>).

On the other hand, we may be able to use more than 4GiB of memory on the
Hurd some time soon (and after we upgrade and compile using
--enable-pae)

Pushed to master as 658de25e990a56265e2398a3737e9cf1eb57af68

Greetings,
