`guix build pulseaudio` fails because of the following test:
Running suite(s): Memblock
shm_open() failed: Function not implemented
0%: Checks: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0
tests/memblock-test.c:86:F:memblock:memblock_test:0: Assertion 'pool_a
!= NULL' failed
FAIL: memblock-test
Does this happen for anyone else or just me?

I think you hit the /dev/shm issue described in a footnote (info "(guix)
Setting Up the Daemon").
(Of course, re-open this bug if this is not the case.)
I’m not sure how to better avoid that situation. Perhaps ‘guix-daemon’
could explicitly check whether /dev/shm is a symlink and emit a warning
if it is?
OTOH this won’t be a problem on the GNU distro where everything will be
correctly setup.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

That is indeed the case. /dev/shm is a symlink to /run/shm.

Have other Debian users worked around this issue?

I successfully built pulseaudio in Guix within Debian Wheezy x86_64, but
/dev/shm is not a symlink on that box. I'm not sure why it's different
from yours, maybe because I installed systemd?

I think Andreas hit that problem some time ago, which led to the
footnote.

Well, you can delete the symbolic link, create a directory /dev/shm and
mount a new tmpfs there:
rm /dev/shm
mkdir /dev/shm
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /dev/shm
I did this once or twice to compile a package the tests of which would
otherwise fail. I do not know what happens if you reboot; each time,
I reverted the changes with
umount /dev/shm
rmdir /dev/shm
ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm

Thanks, Andreas. Took me awhile to get around to trying it, but it
worked for me.
