git cannot be built

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

Commit 7f171fdaadb15bb1b313b25e9be3d1988b0f650f broke git for me.  I
cannot build it from source because one of the many tests appears to
fail.

This is on x86_64.  I have not tried this on other architectures.

I cannot provide any more details about the test failure, I’m afraid,
because I didn’t keep the output (and it would take me too long to
reproduce the failure on my machine).

Maybe it is not an reproducible failure?
I have seen someone else state this failure, but I have yet to experience it:

user@abyayala ~/src/guix/guix$ uname -a; git --version
Linux abyayala 4.12.4-gnu #1 SMP 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
git version 2.14.0

On a different host, x86_64 aswell, was able to build the 2.13.4 -> 2.14.x upgrade
with grafts, and also with '--fallback --check --no-grafts':

I was able to build Git 2.14.0 on a foreign distro from commit
57e96e48b199705d0fda8f0060b4349e003d29d6, so I'm attaching my
build log in case it helps with debugging.

FWIW, it built successfully on my x86_64 GuixSD system.  I've
transitioned to building everything locally.

It also worked on my i686 machine, but it failed repeatedly on my x200s.

I also observed the tests failing on x86_64, but can now no longer 
reproduce, before or after the version update in 
7f171fdaadb15bb1b313b25e9be3d1988b0f650f.

I built it on a Thinkpad X200.  Perhaps I got lucky.  Also, it case it's
relevant, I've been using linux-libre@4.9 with selected patches from
Debian.

Anecdata: It failed once on my Debian x230, which is using the 4.12
kernel series (compiled myself). It's passed three times since then.
