When packages are built using guix build --keep-failed the build directories
are created in /tmp/nix* (as they should be).
But it is impossible to delete these directories without special priviliges.
The user who called guix build --keep-failed cannot delete them because they
are owned by guix-builder
Can we please either:
1. Have a command (or option to guix gc) to remove them ; OR
2. Arrange for the ownership of such directories to be changed to the calling
user,
after the build has finished.
