This is for the lttng-ust package, right?
The idea was to do this in a post-install phase of liburcu.

I suggest moving the post-unpack substitute* phase from lttng-ust to a
post-install phase in liburcu.  That way, urcu/arch.h can be patched to
use an absolute file name.

Also, this ...

 (urcu/(compiler|pointer|arch|system|uatomic|config|list|tls 
compat|debug|ref|rculist).h)>

seems rather fragile and could easily break on future updates of lttng-ust.
The idea of the 'absolute-inclusions.scm' file I sent, is to automate things.
More concretely, my suggestion is to:

  * add absolute-inclusions.scm to the Guix repo, in guix/build
  * modify liburcu to:

  (package
    (name "liburcu")
    [...]
    (arguments
      (list #:imported-modules `(,@%gnu-build-system-modules (guix build 
absolute-inclusions))
            #:modules '((guix build gnu-build-system)
                        (guix build absolute-inclusions))
            #:phases
            #~(modify-phases %standard-phases
                (add-after 'install 'absolute-inclusions 
absolute-inclusions)))))

Greetings,
Maxime.
