It builds fine, and reproducibly on Guix System (current master;
ba8992d28b1616d05b7cb04ef032944c5d19cd5a); build log attached.
Guix has been disabling tests/misc/env-S.pl
;; This test hits the 127 character shebang limit in the build
;; environment due to the way "env -S" splits arguments into
;; shebangs. Note that "env-S-script.sh" works around this
;; specific issue, but "env-S.pl" is not adjusted for build
;; environments with long prefixes (/tmp/guix-build-...).
(substitute* "Makefile"
(("^.*tests/misc/env-S.pl.*$") ""))
so I guess this is expected, and that hasn't changed.
Would you be willing to also provide a GZIP compressed version of future
sed releases too? (patch attached).
Since coreutils-8.14 (2011), only XZ tarball releases were provided.
This is not a problem but still unfortunate; it makes 8.13 (2011)
currently the latest version that we can use to build first in our
ongoing efforts to create a full source bootstrap of the GNU (Guix)
System. Only a few GNU packages have this new bootstrap "problem";
I am happy that GNU Sed re-started issuing gzip releases recently
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/sed-devel/2020-01/msg00016.html).
For some background see this blog post
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-reduces-bootstrap-seed-by-50/, the
next reduction will remove programs like sed from the bootstrap seed.
XZ can only be built after we have a fairly recent GCC and glibc.
Greetings,
