I forgot to mention another thing: nasm is currently not
bit-reproducible, as visible with --rounds=2, due to differences in its
PDF and PS files:

Could you look into it?

I suspect it would be easier to simply remove these two files.  Packages
in Guix don’t usually install their PDF/PS documentation, and this one
already installs its doc as HTML.

TIA!  :-)
