I repeated the build with Guix commit 14c03807 and `encfs` tests failed in the
same way.  I tested the fix in <https://github.com/vgough/encfs/issues/600>,
i.e. `guix build encfs --with-input=openssl=openssl@1.1.1q`, and the build
succeeded, tests and all.  I also tried `--with-graft` instead of
`--with-input`, but the issue happened again.

I hope that this is useful!
