Yes, upon closer investigation, that was indeed the cause.  I can
confirm that I was able to work around the issue by traveling back in
time to January 1st, 2020 and doing the build then.

Going back to the future, that will be the hard part now...

Hi,

While attempting to run...

guix pull --cores=1 --max-jobs=1 --no-substitutes

...after installing Guix System in an x86_64 VM using...

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.2.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz

...I was unable to build gnutls 3.6.12.  This prevented me from running
"guix pull" without using substitutes.  Substitutes are available for
this derivation, so it seems that a build succeeded at some point on the
build farm.  However, in my VM, I tried 71 times to build the
problematic gnutls derivation repeatedly, and it failed every time.

Every time, the error was: "You need openssl to run this test"

It was mentioned in the IRC chat that this is a known issue, but I could
not find a bug report about it:

http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2020-12-29.log#090745

"<efraim> gnutls@3.6.12 is known to fail, something about missing the
time window when it will build and pass the tests"

Is it <https://bugs.gnu.org/44559>?

That bug is about GnuTLS 3.6.12 being written to expire — there is not
really much we can do about it.

It's happened more than once, too.
