Unfortunately, despite my prior claims to the contrary, this change
seems to trigger a rebuild of the hello package and the gcc-toolchain
package on x86_64-linux, which means it's going to trigger a full-world
rebuild, after all.  You can see this yourself by running
"./pre-inst-env guix build -d hello gcc-toolchain" on master (on an
x86_64-linux machine), applying this patch, and then running the command
again - the derivations change.

Is there any way to avoid this?  I will try to think of something, but
suggestions would be welcome in the meantime...  We can't merge this
patch series until we fix this.

It also makes me want to double check the other patches to make sure
they don't accidentally rebuild stuff.  I thought I verified that they
didn't, but now I'm not so sure.
