Great, thanks! I was away for a bit and catching up now.

Some failing builds are lacking a proper backtrace, e.g. 
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/680388/details Perhaps it is what is referred to 
as fixed in this more recent commit in core-updates: 
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates&id=a0f880afea3b29e817866de0170ed579738db2d1

In any event, going forward we can apply any Haskell patches here, and probably 
the big one is to update GHC and Stackage resolver? Is there any automated way 
to updating a large number of packages to get started? Some will require manual 
help, but at least we can start with getting all versions to whichever Stackage 
resolver we update to.
