Thanks for all the work you’ve put last week into fixing these issues!
We’re at 94% of substitute availability on x86_64-linux right now:

  https://qa.guix.gnu.org/branch/core-updates

ci.guix is lagging behind on aarch64-linux (mostly because part of the
builders are out-of-order right now¹) and also on powerpc64le-linux
(that would need more investigation), but fortunately bordeaux.guix has
relatively good figures on these platforms.

On i686-linux, there are two important packages failing: gd (1 test
failure) and libfaketime.  Fixing these can make an important
difference.

Let’s keep this going and we should be able to merge real soon, maybe as
soon as we get above 70% on aarch64 and powerpc64le?  Is that a
reasonable goal?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
