Hi!
libfive doesn't build anymore.
I've hacked together a script which uses `guix time-machine` and binary
search to
determine when something broke:
<https://codeberg.org/nomike/guix-binary-issue-search>
With this I was able to confirm that the build of libfive is broken
starting from
commit 0559a4b5472f9dc4c88240c61e7ad49a95855d6f.
Commit comment:

build-system: guile: Remove unused build defaults.
Defaults should be set in guix/build-system/guile.scm rather than
guix/build/guile-build-system.scm, to disambiguate at first sight
where those defaults are set.
* guix/build-system/guile.scm (guile-build)
<#:not-compiled-file-regexp>: Add default.
* guix/build/guile-build-system.scm (build): Remove unused keyword
defaults.

I want to finalize and submit a new package for PythonSCAD. a
programmating 3D modelling tool but I'm now blocked
due to it's dependency on libfive.
@Nicolas: Could you (or someone else) have a look at this and fix it please?
Thanks
