Oh, then it could be that it’s a “make -j8” (assuming 2 hyperthreads per
core) for one of the packages that exceeded the limit.

What about this:

diff --git a/etc/guix-daemon.service.in b/etc/guix-daemon.service.in
index 28ef000..c79f867 100644
--- a/etc/guix-daemon.service.in

(Is it the right syntax?)

Thanks,
