Copy that, I've implemented this change in the upcoming patch.

I agree with this.

I did check each test, and there were three failing in the cloned repo
on my local machine… Until I ran them inside the package build
environment, where they all passed 100%. I have run this with --check
--rounds=20 and have not seen a failure inside of the build environment,
so I will leave them enabled.

I've left these as (#:outputs (list outputs)), as that is less
characters than the above and I'm just passing in a single variable
(inside a list, as that is what the procedure is expecting) without any
(other) modifications.

I've successfully built it using icedtea-8 (icedtea-7 failed), so I've
switched the patch over to that.
