bug#26926: [PATCH] gnu: update Mes to 0.6.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Jan!

Jan Nieuwenhuizen <address@hidden> skribis:

> Mes 0.6 for Guix.  Nyacc is now unbundled.  Mescc works with vanilla
> Nyacc.  Mescc behaves more like a regular C compiler and now passes
> 33/55 tests of the tinycc test2 test suite.

Woow, really impressive progress.

> Mescc can also be used as a Nyacc C compiler backend for Guile (x86 only).

I got stuck in a meta-circular attempt to understand the meaning of this
sentence.  What does this mean in very explicit terms?  :-)

Note that %current-system is a “system type” like “x86_64-linux”
whereas %current-target-system is a GNU triplet like
“x86_64-linux-pc-gnu”.  Thus, the second line should be

  (string-prefix? (%current-target-system) "x86_64-linux")

OK with this change!
