Hi Guix,
I've got the start of a Guix package build for the new [Ghostty terminal
emulator], but it gets stuck when the zig-build tries fetch some dependencies,
with what I think is a DNS (!) issue:

I can see a similar issue discussed at
<https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14636>
With one of the fixes being "works after changing DNS servers from my router to
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4"
[<https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14636#issuecomment-1894254834>], and I
note that the Guix `/etc/resolv.conf' points at my local network/router.
I'm not sure what the best workaround is for this. (I'm not even sure how to
temporarily change my local DNS resolver on Guix to see if I can get it to
build locally, assuming that a similar workaround might work as for 'floooh' on
Ubuntu.)
best,
—Benjamin
