Dear Guix,
I looked into why our LDC package fails to build, and it seems that all
tests that make use of "ptrace" fail because the build environment
doesn't allow it.
So I disabled these tests by removing the relevant files, and completed
a successful build.
If there is a way to provide the build environment with the ability to
use ptrace, and if that is preferred to removing tests, then please let
me know so I can prepare another patch.
Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
