Hello,

after a time off, I just recently began pulling the latest commits and
have been trying to build Guix since maybe a week.  But several tests
fail.  Even a clean clone fails.

I've only a handful of logs.  It seams that the tests fail mostly for
this reason:

/home/ss2/code/guix/test-tmp/store/9m9mjdz3zl28n1dq094aqsxk5d480mvg-bash: 
9m9mjdz3zl28n1dq094aqsxk5d480mvg-bash: No such file or directory

But this executable is there though.

I've attached only a handful of logs.


Cheers
Simon
