core-updates, let’s go!

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

‘core-updates’ is doing OK!

  https://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates

The remaining issues are GCC 4.8 and 4.9 failing to build, which are
nothing serious and left as an exercise to the reader.

What about starting a new evaluation of all the packages now so we can
merge it early 2018?

Efraim, can you confirm that everything’s alright on aarch64?

We’re lacking a couple of glibc commits from the ‘release/2.26/master’
branch (see below), but Florian Weimer marked them as non-critical
provided we have the previous fixes.  Should we include them anyway and
rebuild the whole thing?  (I’m inclined to answer “no”.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
