Neat!

Great that all this is covered.

I would love to have a POWER9 build machine in the main/default build
farm though.  Currently there’s the OSUOSL POWER9 VM but it’s not
“plugged in” (I think because it’s a machine not “under our control”
that OSUOSL is giving us access to for a limited time, IIUC).  Maybe
more of a topic for guix-sysadmin but we’ll have to coordinate on the
use of those few scarce resources.

Thanks for the update,
Ludo’.
