Indeed, I forgot to prune old branches and get confused.

I have read rapidly this thread.

IIRC the build for node 10.xx was failing with ‘openssl’ which was the
reason of upgrading to ‘openssl-next’ and this issue seems to imply that
node fails to run with ‘openssl-next’?  Is that correct?

Have you recently tried to compile ‘node’ with libuv-1.23 without
upgrading the “openssl” input?  How did it work?

I think that ideally it would be a good idea to have both the latest and
the LTS versions distributed in Guix.  So I agree with your solution of
downgrading to 8.12 LTS.
