* guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm (strip): Check whether 'file-exists?'
before calling 'elf-file?' and 'ar-file?'. This should fix build
failures in the presence of dangling symlinks, as in
<http://hydra.gnu.org/build/167521/nixlog/1/raw>.
This avoids uncaught exceptions when the 'strip' phase would call these
procedures on symlinks to directories, such as 'lib/terminfo' in
ncurses (see <http://hydra.gnu.org/build/167310/nixlog/1/tail-reload>.)
* guix/build/utils.scm (file-header-match): Catch 'system-error', and
return #f upon EISDIR.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/18534>.

macros.

(p-for-each): Add #:progress parameter.

messages. Change 'tar' flags to 'xf'. Around 'compile-file' call,
bind CURRENT-WARNING-PORT to DEBUG-PORT.
* guix/scripts/pull.scm (unpack): Add #:verbose? parameter.
[builder]: Pass #:debug-port to 'build-guix'.
(guix-pull): Leave CURRENT-BUILD-OUTPUT-PORT unchanged. Pass

Remove 'catch' around 'primitive-load' call.
Reported by David Thompson <dthompson2@worcester.edu>.
* guix/build/linux-initrd.scm (read-ext2-superblock): Add
'superblock-size' variable. Read with 'get-bytevector-n!' instead of
'getbytevector-n', and make sure we read exactly SUPERBLOCK-SIZE
bytes.
* guix/git-download.scm (<git-reference>)[recursive?]: New field.
(git-fetch): Add 'inputs' variable. Add it to the #:inputs argument
