Worth testing, if only to have a non-Guix way to illustrate the issue for reporting upstream if necessary. Is there a way to get the exact ASD file plus command line that is used by the build system? >> 3.

Building sbcl-numcl works fine with 1.5 and 2.0. It's only with 2.0.2 that there is this heap issue. > Maybe report this issue to the SBCL issue tracker, they will probably > know what's going on. If it's not a Guix issue, then yes, that's the way to proceed. Cheers, Konrad.
