Hi!  It looks like some tests during the build of `proot` get stuck in the
version of Guix shown below:

```
$ LANG=C guix describe
Generation 56   May 02 2023 11:25:26    (current)
  guix 3f8c489
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 3f8c4899a9a67bb509a603bd21dcfcfab88c0e8e
```

Since `top` reported a couple of tests getting stuck, I first ran `guix build
-c1 proot`; its last lines were:

```
  CHECK test-pppppppp ok
  CHECK test-proocare skipped
  CHECK test-ptrace-exec-trap ok
  CHECK test-python01 ok
  CHECK test-rrrrrrrr ok
  CHECK test-tempdire ok
  CHECK test-wwwwwwww ok
  CHECK test-yyyyyyyy ok
```

It got stock there and `top` reported the following test (`test-0cf405b0`)
using CPU:

```
21490 guixbui+  20   0   10,8m   4,0m   0,0   0,0   0:00.03 S              `- make check -C test -j 1
24340 guixbui+  20   0    6,4m   2,9m   0,0   0,0   0:00.00 S                  `- /gnu/store/rib9g2ig1xf3kclyl076w28parmncg4k-bash-minimal-5.1.16/bin/sh -c if [ -e /tmp/guix-build-proot-5.3.0.drv-0/source/test//rootfs/bin/test-0cf405b0 ]; then /tmp/guix+
24341 guixbui+  20   0    7,1m   3,1m  55,0   0,0   0:42.21 S                      `- /tmp/guix-build-proot-5.3.0.drv-0/source/test//../src/proot -b /proc -r /tmp/guix-build-proot-5.3.0.drv-0/source/test//rootfs /bin/test-0cf405b0

```

Then I ran again `guix build -c4 proot` (4 cores is the default on my
computer); its last lines were:

```
  CHECK test-pppppppp ok
  CHECK test-proocare skipped
  CHECK test-ptrace-exec-trap ok
  CHECK test-python01 ok
  CHECK test-rrrrrrrr ok
  CHECK test-tempdire ok

It got stock there and `top` reported the following tests (`test-0cf405b0` and
`test-25069c12`) taking CPU:
