Is this issue still relevant?

In Guile, commit 9b9149a5bf6206c9f01bcc59c9d297364a6c1ccf (2022 i
ntroduces stage1 and stage2 for building ice-9 modules.  The difference
between the two stages is essentially cross-modules inlining.

I have not read the entire thread yet, but is it Guile that is not
reproducible yet?  Or are we talking about another package here?

Thanks,
Olivier
