This commit is 5 months old. Have you tried a recent one? Though I don't
think the age of the commit is at issue here since I don't see the
problem on the guixp9 POWER9 KVM guest — neither with that commit nor
with one from yesterday:

repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The last glibc build on the master branch also went well in the CI
(which also uses guixp9 so not really a different data point):
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/935110/details
Can you share more details that might be relevant about your environment
and how you are building the package?
