I have one addition to this.  mariadb is failing to build from source
because of a failing test suite.  As mariadb is a dependency of
diffoscope this is causing diffoscope's build from source to also fail.
diffoscope is a useful tool for gathering information about why a
package is not reproducible.

`guix graph --path diffoscope mariadb` outputs:

```
diffoscope@174
ffmpeg@4.3.2
sdl2@2.0.12
fcitx@4.2.9.8
extra-cmake-modules@5.70.0
qtbase@5.15.2
mariadb@10.5.8
```

More details on how mariadb is failing to build can be seen here
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48151#3>.
