Hello, I'm having an issue installing openmw on my Guix System. Here is the output of `guix install openmw`:

```
The following package will be installed:
   openmw 0.48.0

Hey John,
I am having the same kind of trouble. I tried reading the build log but 
unfortunately I cannot open the archive. Maybe it is corrupted?
I will attach my build log so maybe you can see if we get the same error.

The error I get seems to point to difficulties in including libstdc++:
```
/tmp/guix-build-openmw-0.48.0.drv-0/source/components/bsa/bsa_file.cpp:190:10: 
error: ‘sort’ is not a member of ‘std’; did you mean ‘qsort’?
```

which seems to be the same case in the latest CI build 
(https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/14835405/log).

Greetings,
Astrid
