Hydra reports that xfig only builds successfully on x86_64. It fails on
i686 and mips64el. Can you investigate?
Looking at the mass of subsitions in xfig, it seems to me that xfig is fighting
against imake. In particular I see that imake sets the PROJECT_ROOT to
/gnu/store/*imake/
which is wrong for every package except Imake itself.
It has been a few years since I used imake, but I seem to remember there was the
possibility to have a "vendor" specific control file. In our case Guix is the
vendor, so perhaps we should have a guix.cf file in imake. However, since this
would have to be provided by each package which uses imake. Perhaps it would be
better to have a imake-build-system which generated it dynamically.
