Setting max-jobs to 0 leads to: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix build: error: build failed: unable to start any build; either increase `--max-jobs' or enable distributed builds --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- That’s expected because it really asks for zero locally running build jobs (something that is useful, for instance, on a Hydra front-end.) Commit f6526eb addresses that in a simple way. Thanks, Ludo’.
