     This is the first time I'm experiencing a hardware-related memory (and filesystem) corruption.
     
     I still don't fully get how this particular makefile detection ended up turning defective.
     
     TIL: if all in sudden your computer regularly corrupt your filesystem and weirdly crashes your running programs, a faulty ram stick could be the root cause.
     
     TIL2: USE ECC RAM FOR YOUR NIX/GUIX BUILDERS!!!!
