Possibly, though I think it is more user-oriented.

I'll try and approach Joe Armstrong directly and you can do the ML at
the same time. Cc this list. 

I don't think, however, that we should wait for that fix. It may take
a while before it reaches 'stable', or something other tools can depend
upon. I had the same thing with ldc (the LLVM D compiler now in Guix)
and patched tests for the time being (for ldc I'll probably be able to
resolve it at Dconf in May). If we want something usable within 3-6
months I suggest we patch a hard coded date in. It is only the
compiler itself we are talking about. A patch may also help explain
things ;)

I would love to have Erlang and Elixir in GNU Guix. GNU Guix targeting
programmers makes a load of sense.
