It occurs to me that we missed something: the profiles in
~/.config/guix/current that are managed by "guix pull".  It might be
that code within Guix itself was miscompiled (e.g. gnu/build/svg.scm),
or else that a profile in ~/.config/guix/current is still holding a
reference to something else that was miscompiled, (e.g. guile-cairo).

I suggest "guix pull --commit=453e101fc3f7dac9aabcd6122cf05fb7925103c7",
and then "guix package -p ~/.config/guix/current --delete-generations"
to delete any generations of Guix at commits that came after the Cairo
graft (use "guix pull --list-generations" to list them).  Do this for
all user accounts (including root) that have a ~/.config/guix/current
directory.  Then, try "guix gc" again.

     Thanks,
       Mark
