Alternately, there’s a really easy way: grab the binary tarball and follow the steps at <http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/> (make sure to check the ownership of /var and /root after unpacking it; the extracting the current tarball will incorrectly change the owner.) >From there: git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git cd guix git checkout wip-hurd guix environment guix autoreconf && ./configure --localstatedir=/var \ --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/gnu/store/... && make > After it fails go to /tmp/nix-build-gcc-4.7... and there you can find > the failed build.
