Hello!

This patch series removes (guix build syscalls) from the dependencies
of several packages where having that dependency would effectively
prevent us from changing syscalls.scm due to the high number of
dependents (and it turns out that removing that dependency was easy).

This change involves a rebuild of ~3,912 packages.  I plan to create
a branch and have it built by ci.guix (I suppose qa.guix will skip it
by default?).  I can do that any time (the build farm is currently idle!)
but since ‘rust-team’ is fully built, I thought we might want to merge
it first; Efraim?  I’ll also send a proper “request for merging”.

Besides I have not forgotten about the underlying bug, reported
at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/30948>, and I plan to propose another
fix there.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

I'm looking forward to how you'll approach the problem.

This series LGTM, with the comment about Mirai to drop a stale comment
in path #1 addressed.

Thanks for working on it!

That would be nice. I'm currently waiting for aarch64 to catch up and
then I need to rebase on master since the qt-team branch got merged and
then it should be ready.
