Guile 3.0.7 appears to fail tests reproducibly on armhf-linux:

This is the current ‘guile-final’, meaning Guix has presumably been
unavailable on armhf-linux since the ‘core-updates’ merge in December:

The build machine above, behind berlin, is actually an aarch64 machine.

Well, as it turns out it’s not 100% reproducible after all.  Probably a
timing issue.  I was unable to reproduce it on overdrive1.guix anyway,
so now ci.guix has substitutes for (@@ (gnu packages commencement)
guile-final) for armhf-linux.

Looking at ‘web-server.test’, there’s no synchronization between HTTP
server startup and the first test; thus, there’s a possibility that the
HTTP server is not listening yet by the time the main thread attempts to
connect to the server.  Fixed upstream:
