Hi Mark,

I have built this without trouble on two different x86_64 systems. The
release notes[0] lists a single entry[1] which looks innocuous[2], so I
doubt the failure is related to the upgrade.

I can't find the build log of the first run, but note how in the second
failure the test took more than five seconds:

[  FAILED  ] ExtensionPre13Datagram/TlsExtensionTestPre13.AlpnReturnedBadNameLength/0, where GetParam() = ("TLS", 770) (5543 ms)
(from https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1905330/nixlog/6/raw )

This is reminiscent of the trouble we had getting 3.29.2 to build on
armhf[3]. Something caused the build to stall for a few seconds, which
in turn makes the test fail due to exceeding time treshold.

Can you try restarting the build once more?
