Hi,
If you try to build Guile 3 without substitutes using any recent versionof Guix, it can frequently fail. I had to try about 12 timesin a row before it succeeded. The failure simply said "FAIL:check-guile" - I didn't save the build logs, which were lost once thebuild succeeded. If anyone is interested in debugging, it should beeasy to reproduce. Just do this:
- Run Guix in a 1-core VM or a similarly slow x86_64-linux system.
- Try to build any recent version of Guile 3 using any recent version of Guix.
I've seen the failures happen for Guile 3.0.2 and Guile 3.0.4. Iobserved this on a 1-core VM, so perhaps a slow system exacerbates thisbug. This can make running "guix pull" without substitutes tedious,since you have to manually retry many times.

I investigated those failures yesterday. I think they are caused by:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2020-09/msg00012.html.
Let's see if the fix proposed by Rob can be merged in Guile.
Thanks,
Mathieu
