My rebuilds fail all the time, but that's self-inflicted. I build my whole system from source with the nix binary cache disabled and optimizations for my processor enabled, so it seems like every update I have multiple failures which range from transient issues like GNU's savannah being down to persistent issues like software suddenly not compiling with `-march znver4`.

Reading the blog, they complain about compile times, which makes me wonder if their issues are similarly self-inflicted. The average user shouldn't need to compile software due to the nix binary cache. So they must have been either modifying packages or enabling optimizations.
