Ahem, sometimes, days last real long.

But we’re getting there!  <http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates>
shows that most things are built.  The remaining noticeable failures
are: Qt 5 (6 packages depend on it; Qt 4 is fine), Numpy, and a few MIPS
issues.

Yesterday, Mark found a bug in the new ld-wrapper whereby, when used in
a user profile (via the ‘gcc-toolchain’ package), it would incorrectly
flag ~/.guix-profile/lib/libfoo.so as “impure.”

To work around that ‘gcc-toolchain’ is now using a fixed ld-wrapper
(commit 77db91a), meaning that we don’t have to rebuild the world right
away (although it would be good to do so for the release IMO.)

Long story short: I’ll merge tomorrow if there are no strong objections.
Please fix the remaining packages!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
