[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The attached patch makes isl build reproducibly in guix by disabling
parallelism.

Admittedly, I'm unsure what the root cause is, and Debian's build of isl
does not appear to have this problem, despite building in parallel.

Seems like patches to isl should go to core-updates:

  $ guix refresh --list-dependent isl                                                               
  Building the following 2192 packages would ensure 5967 dependent packages are rebuilt: ...

Even worse, it is used by gcc, which is (indirectly) used by pretty
much everything.  Agreed with core-updates.

…with a ‘build reproducibly’ comment.

Kind regards,

I'm less confident this actually fixes reproducibility issues, as I've
had several cases with other packages (that didn't need to go through
core-updates) that *seemed* to be fixed by disabling parallelism on my
local builds, but once ci and bordeaux built them, they were still
unreproducible... (need to follow-up and revert those changes on master,
too)

Given that parallelism isn't an issue for the Debian package, my guess
is my "fix" for this is probably not necessarily effective either.
