Hi Guix,
I'm trying to build the Zutty terminal emulator on Guix and, no matter whether
I include `libxmu` as an input, native input, or propagated input, the
`waf-build` seems to report that 'xmu' cannot be found. (See partial .drv
output below:)

(Here's the current pkgbuild I've got so far:
<http://paste.debian.net/1341458/> )
I've tried to look for similar issues for Guix package builds, but the only
thing I could find was an IRC log where it's in fact me asking about the same
issue about 3 years ago ( <https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2022-05-28.log> )
though I'd forgotten I'd tried this before and hit the same issue.
Why is the waf-build not able to recognise that `xmu` is available (no matter
where I try including `libxmu`)? Is there something to do to make it visible?
Do I need to modify the build sequence in some way?
[Zutty's a pretty interesting terminal emulator, see

thanks,
