Good call!  I implemented your suggestion in commit dc2b901.

Thank you for confirming!

I think the issue described in 52940 is similar but slightly different
to the one Aiko mentioned.  I have resolved 52940 because that issue
(only happening on powerpc64le-linux, to my knowledge) has been fixed.
However, I have re-opened Aiko's existing report for the
aarch64-specific issue here:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52943

Let's continue the discussion of that issue there.
