Yes.

Done, I re-created wip-newt-installer without the glibc patch
dependency, it can now be built much faster :)
For people not used to create disk-images, the commands I use are:
./pre-inst-env guix system disk-image gnu/system/install.scm
-> /gnu/store/xxx-disk-image
sudo cp /gnu/store/xxx-disk-image /tmp/iso
sudo chmod o+rw /tmp/iso
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 1 -net user -net nic,model=virtio -boot
menu=on -drive file=/tmp/iso -vga std

Yes, it makes sense, I'll remove this dependency.
Thanks for your fast answer :),
