Awesome! I'm looking forward to getting some aarch64 hardware for Guix. > General problem points/packages: [...] > * qt-4: does not build, I've hardly put any time into it. > * gnucash: The ancient webkit version they use didn't build on aarch64, Qt 4 and that old version of webkit are unmaintained, full of bugs, and we will probably have to remove them soon, regardless of whether or not something depends on them. So I don't think you should worry about trying to build them for aarch64.
