(Compression algorithms hate this trick.) Cheers

I would put this under gnu/packages/instrumentation.scm.
funny issue with Guix QA: https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/63184 shows 13482 packages waiting to build for a package addition patch for target i586-gnu That shall make no sense. The package is Linux kernel specific, as well.

The package is Linux kernel specific, as well. This isn't a QA issue, it's an actual issue with the derivations, they're very broken. I've got some patches here https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63416 Note that even though this information is showing up, the i586-gnu system isn't looked at when considering the "status" [2]. 2: https://git.cbaines.net/guix/qa-frontpage/tree/guix-qa-frontpage/issue.scm#n50
