Hi.  What do you mean by disabled isolation?  In the initial e-mail I
quoted the set of commands used which involved:

(guix-daemon --disable-chroot --build-users-group=_guixbuild &

Is that what you mean?

Is building things without build isolation not supposed to work?

Maybe there is now sufficient details to reproduce this: rebuild
cmake-bootstrap in a Debian container with Guix installed without build
isolation.  I'm not sure how to trigger a cmake-bootstrap rebuild
though, guix just seems to use the cached result for me.

Btw, substitutes were available at some point, so there is now arm64
Guix container images suitable for GitLab pipeline!
