Re: gcc-ddc

Hello!

Before FOSDEM I decided to take another look at this.

I have really good news, gcc 4.7.4 ddc on x86_64 is now reproducible using clang.

Code can be found at: https://github.com/Boskovits/guix/tree/gcc-ddc.

How could we go on with this?

Now it is very experimental, and not conforming to policies.

It is also architecture dependent.

I don't think that this should go into upstream guix, because I don't believe it is useful for the general public. How should we get it into a place more generally available?

The value of that variable would not be embedded in the binary.  It is
looked up at runtime, so the binary only contains the literal
“GUIX_INSTALL_DIRECTORY”.
