Hi Guix! On aarch64 platforms, the linux-libre-guix.tar.xz.drv build times out [1].
This package is known to have a long build time [2]. Users can work around this by running the build locally with a (very, very large) max-silent-time (~28800 seconds on my machine). Given the impact of this issue (unable to build linux-libre on 64-bit Arm without running a multi-hour build), I think it's worth revisiting if the substitute server timeout should be increased again. Alternatively, perhaps we could fetch the officially released Linux-libre tarballs instead of computing them ourselves [3].
