Thanks Ludo',

Thanks for the reminder about https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-the-Test-Suite.html    I note there too that I should be emailing bug-guix@gnu.org instead of guix-devel.  I've cc:ed it this time.  What is the best going forward?

I am building the release from git since I want to ./configure with a non-standard --localstatedir of /gnu/var  (where /gnu is shared and nfs mounted and will be used across multiple linux computational servers).  
Perhaps is there another way to effect this?  Without reviewing all the code I did not know how to determine this. 

In any case I have reduced the issues by adding to my install mantra:

	export ACLOCAL_PATH=/usr/share/aclocal # as per https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Building-from-Git

So now only one test fails, guix-lint, before I "give up" as progress on `make check` seems halted (0 cpu per top, yet still build processes including daemons running).

Most oddly, there is no .log file for this test, though one DOES exist in the tests subdirectory.  It ends like this:

	ERROR: In procedure string-append:
	ERROR: In procedure string-append: Wrong type (expecting string): #f'
	+ rm -rf t-guix-lint-2602
	./test-env: line 1:  2601 Terminated              "/tmp/tmp.zS2DFhXOOe/pre-inst-env" "/tmp/tmp.zS2DFhXOOe/guix-daemon" --disable-chroot --substitute-urls="$GUIX_BINARY_SUBSTITUTE_URL"

I have attached it in its entirety.

There is no test-suite.log file.  Is this because I interrupted the `make check` build before all test 

I have the following CentOS7 rpms since either they are listed https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Requirements.html#Requirements  or I found I needed them.
